Apple Squash Soup Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Squash and Apples

   Add the diced butternut squash and apples to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the squash and apples are tender.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, you can transfer it to a blender in batches.)

5. 5

   Prepare Hazelnut Dukkah

   In a small bowl, mix together ground hazelnuts, sesame seeds, cumin, coriander, and a pinch of salt.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with hazelnut dukkah, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve warm.
