Curried Butternut Squash Soup

I found pre-cut Butternut Squash at Costco which makes the preparation of this soup so much easier.

4 T. butter

2 cups finely chopped yellow onions

4 tsp. curry-or to your taste

3 lbs Butternut Squash

2 apples, peelied, and cored

3 cups chicken stock

1 cup apple juice (I used 1/2 and 1/2 for a creamy taste....liked it better!)

salt and pepper to taste

1 Granny Smith apple-shredded and unpeeled for garnish

Melt butter in pan. Add onions and curry. Cook for 25 minutes until onions become tender. Peel squash, take out seeds and chop. Add stock, squash, and chopped apples to onion mixture. Simmer until squash and apples are tender. Puree in batches until smooth. Return to pot. Add apple juice and season with salt and pepper.
