Serves 4

You will need

1 Great Butternut squash
Olive oil
Pinch of grated nutmeg
Black salt and pepper
2 bacon bands
1 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh ginger or grated (ginger gives this soup a subtle heat, but if you want to increase the level of spice, try some cayenne shakes or a tablespoon of chipotle pepper.)
1 green apple, peeled, darling and chopped
4 cups of chicken broth with low sodium
Chopped Civers and Light Sure Cream (Optional)

How to do it

1. Preheat the oven to 375 ° F. Slice the squash in two in the length direction and eliminate seeds.
2. Scrub the halves with a touch of oil and a season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
3. Place on a pastry and roasted plate until the flesh is very soft, about 35 to 40 minutes. Set aside to cool.
4. Heat a large pot on average heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
5. Transfer to a plate and a reserve. Add the onion and ginger to the hot pot and cook until the onion is translucent (but not golden), about 3 minutes.
6. Add the apple and cook for about two minutes.
7. When the squash is cool enough to manipulate, pull out the flesh and add it to a mixer or a large culinary robot.
8. Add the contents of the pot and pour enough broth to cover. (Be careful not to fill too much; work in batches if necessary.)
9. Process until very smooth and return to the pot.
10. Stir in the remaining broth and bring to a simmer.
11. Season with salt, pepper and a touch more nutmeg.
12. Garnish with crumbled bacon, chives and sour cream (if you use).
