This is the most requested recipe I make, it is the perfect fall and winter soup. Warning: Don't make it for Thanksgiving as people will fill up on it and be unable to eat the rest of the meal!

Ingredients

2 butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
olive oil
2 sweet onions (such as Vidalia®), diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 quarts vegetable stock
1 (8.4 ounce) package medium-hot curry sauce (such as S&B® Golden Curry)
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and diced
2 (14 ounce) cans unsweetened coconut cream
¼ cup toasted pine nuts, or to taste
16 fresh cilantro leaves, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place squash onto a baking sheet cut-side down.
Bake squash in preheated oven until the skin loosens from the flesh, about 40 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a 5-quart stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add vegetable stock, curry sauce, and apples to the stockpot; bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Cut squash into 1-inch cubes; add to the stockpot. Bring the mixture again to a simmer, place a cover on the pot, and cook, stirring once every 15 minutes, until the squash is tender and breaks apart easily when stirred, about 2 hours.
Remove pot from heat and blend soup with an immersion blender until completely pureed. Pour coconut cream into the soup; continue blending until creamy. Top each serving with toasted pine nuts and a couple of leaves of cilantro.
