Ingredients

6 servings

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups roughly chopped yellow onions
2 pounds pre-cut butternut squash
2 medium sweet potatoes, (peeled and cut into 1-inch (5-cm) chunks (about 1½ lbs/681 g before peeling))
8 cups chicken broth
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tart yet sweet apple, (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp, cored, peeled, and cut into ½-inch (13-mm) pieces)
3 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground mace
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream

Steps

Melt the butter over medium heat in a large pot. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the butternut squash, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low; simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the diced apple and honey and purée the soup with a handheld immersion blender until very smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, use a standard blender to purée soup in batches, being careful not to fill the jar more than halfway. Leave the hole in the lid open and loosely cover with a dish towel to allow the heat to escape. Pour the blended soup into a clean pot.)
Stir in the cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. To thicken the soup, simmer over low heat until desired consistency is reached.
