This is another of my roasted sundays creations.
On an oiled foil-lined rimmed baking sheet:
1 butternut squash, halved, cut side down
1 large onion, halved, peeled, cut side down
2 tart apples, halved, cored, do not peel, cut side down
1 large sweet potato, halved, do not peel, cut side down
2 carrots, unpeeled, scrubbed, and tops trimmed
Roast until tender and starting to brown. Let cool.
Scrape seeds out of squash and scoop flesh into stockpot. Add the remaining roasted vegetables, 1/4 cup of fresh sage leaves, salt, and white pepper to taste, 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger, and 6 cloves of garlic, smashed and chopped, and 1/2 tsp allspice.
Add 1 quart of strong stock. Puree with a stick blender. Bring to a simmer. Adjust spices and thickness as desired. Add more stock if you prefer a thinner soup. Add a touch of cream if you prefer a creamed soup. Add butter to any variation if you desire a richer soup, but it is quite rich and flavorful just as it is without the cream and butter.
This is really delicious and good for you too.
