Pumpkin, Squash and Apple Soup
By Karen Calderon-Schweitzer
Hello October! Cooler weather, pumpkin and spice everything, family and friends gatherings is what we are expecting this time of the year. October is packed with almost daily celebrations such as Homemade Cookie Day, World Teacher’s Day, National Chocolate Day and of course Halloween Day.
This simple, velvety and simply delicious Pumpkin, Squash and Apple Soup definitely tastes like fall! Some recipes should be kept simple and in my opinion this is one of those dishes. The mild, natural flavor of the ingredients is good enough that you need very little to make a beautiful, creamy, full-flavored soup.
| |
|
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons of butter
- 2 cups peeled and cubed yellow pumpkin or 1 cup canned pumpkin pulp
- 2 cups peeled and cubed Butternut squash
- 1 cup peeled and cubed green apples
- 1 large Vidalia onion diced
- 3 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 1 large garlic clove sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 4 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
| |
|
DIRECTIONS
Step One
In a large pot, over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil. Add onion and cook until onion is translucent. Add garlic, pumpkin, squash and apple cubes. Coat everything with oil and butter. Add chicken stock and let it come to a slow boil. Lower the heat to low, season with salt and pepper, cover pot and cook for about 30 minutes or until all ingredients are very soft. Turn off heat and let it cool down a bit. While the soup is cooling in a small skillet add vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Once hot, add pumpkin seeds and toss to fry up a bit. Add seasoned salt and coat well. Set aside.
Step Two
Transfer cooled down soup to blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. At this point you can add more chicken broth if you would like a thinner soup. Adjust seasoning to taste. Return soup back to cooking pot and reheat.
Serve hot topped with pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of the oil in which they were fried up. This soup goes very well with pumpernickel bread or a crusty bread. You can do fun bat cut outs of pumpernickel bread, fried in a little oil and serve in a carved out and rinsed pumpkin or in small carved out and hollowed out individual pumpkins. Enjoy!

The Centralized Kiosk located adjacent to the Fire Department West (off Broken Hills) is under construction. The initial purchase of 60 Cluster Box Units (CBUs) has been delivered. While construction continues on the kiosk site, work to identify mailbox assignments is making progress. There are still several administrative and regulatory actions pending, but we will advise the members/residents affected once everything is complete.
For clarification, the term Cluster Box Unit (CBU) refers to the single mailbox container that houses 16 mailbox compartments and 2 package compartments. For this project we ordered 60 CBUs (960 mailbox compartments, 120 package compartments). A "kiosk" is the structure over the CBUs.
