Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups good vegetable broth (or more)
2 cups filtered apple cider or apple juice
2 cups diced acorn or butternut squash, peeled and seeded
1 large potato, peeled and diced (Yukon Gold is nice)
1 firm, tart apple, peeled, cored, and diced
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
Ginger, to taste
Salt, to taste
1/2 cup light cream (optional)
Chopped walnuts
Minced fresh parsley
Dollop of sour or whipped cream
Grated nutmeg

Preparation

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil and add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté onion and garlic until golden, then add the vegetable broth, apple cider or apple juice, diced squash, potato, and apple. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until squash, potato, and apple are tender, about 30 minutes.

Add nutmeg, ginger and salt to taste.

Puree in batches in blender, return to pot and gently reheat. You may add 1/2 cup of either light cream or more broth at this stage, thinning soup to the desired consistency. Serve warm, with any or all of the toppings on each serving, if desired.
