The ingredients for Harvest Roasted Butternut Squash Curry Soup with Roasted Pepitas are:

Serves 6-8 (makes approx. 2.5 quarts)
Ingredients:
1 medium butternut squash, approx. 2 lbs., exterior scrubbed, cut in half and seeded
1 medium onion, ends trimmed, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 medium-large tart-sweet apple such as Fuji, Jonagold, Braeburn or Gala, cored and cut into 10 equal
wedges (an apple corer/wedger is perfect for this)
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
6 cups low-sodium or homemade vegetable broth, plus extra to adjust the soupʼs consistency
2/3 cup pepitas (raw pumpkin seeds), toasted in a dry skillet just until fragrant and taking on a little color
Procedure:
Preheat your oven to 375-degreesF and line a rimmed baking pan with a Silpat silicone liner; place the
two halves of the butternut squash cut-side down on baking pan; distribute the onion slices and the apple
wedges around the squash and cover the whole pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Crimp the edges of
the foil tightly to the rim of the pan making a tight seal so the veggies can steam.
Place on the center rack of your oven and roast for about 45 minutes or until the flesh of the butternut
squash is soft and scoopable, and the onion and apple are tender and beginning to caramelize.
When the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh from the shell into a Dutch oven, add the
roasted apple and onion and pour in any liquid and roasty bits from the pan that may have accumulated
while the veggies were cooking in the oven. Add the 6 cups broth and curry powder, stir well to combine,
bring to a simmer and cover with a lid and let cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring
occasionally.
After the soup has simmered for 15 minutes, puree it in the pot with an immersion blender or in several
batches in a food processor or stand blender until smooth; small bits of apple peel may remain, but this
adds a nice mouthfeel. Adjust the consistency if necessary with additional broth and bring back up to
temperature over medium-low heat.
Serve garnished with toasted pepitas.
