As many of you know, my swallowing abilities/disabilities restricts me to things that are pretty much pureed or creamy. But within that restriction I'm constantly on the lookout for good recipes--soup being the big staple for me.

I was at a museum with my husband and we ended up having lunch sharing a table with 2 women and one of them was describing this creamy soup she had just tried making with apples, squash, onions and chicken broth. Today I looked up some recipes on the web and then basically combined them for a yummy soup I hadn't made before.

1 very large sweet onion chopped up
4-6 apples (I used Cortland) sliced thin
one large (or 2 small) butternut squash chopped into 1.5 " squares
@ 1 stick butter
3 cups chicken or veg broth (I used chicken)
1 cup heavy cream and strong tasting softish cheese (the recipe that ahd this part suggestred blue cheese. I didn't have that but did have some boursin with garlic which worked)

Chop up onion and squash and put in baking pan surounded by chicken broth--dot tops of onions and squash with butter. Cover pan with foil and bake until soft (I did @ 45 min).

Peel, then Slice apples thin, and sautee in can with lots of butter and a little nutmeg.

When everything is baked or sauteed puree apples/onion/squash and broth in blender in batches.

Warm heavy cream and melt cheese in it then whip until it is thick.

Serve squash soup with cheese-flavored cream in a dollop on top.

Yummy!

Well... I think it sounds delicious, even if no one has replied. I'm going to have to try this one Nelie. Delicious and nutritious!

John, Thanks for the reply. It IS a really good soup--for anyone, not just those of us limited in what we're able to eat!
