Butternut Shout
Makes 4 servings

1/2 cup chopped onions
1 tsp. curry powder
1 1/2 cups low-sodium, reduced-fat chicken broth
1/2 cup apple juice
4 cups peeled, cubed butternut squash
1 cup peeled, chopped pears
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup low-fat sour cream
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Melt margarine in a medium saucepan. Add onions and cook over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle curry powder over onions and cook 1 more minute. Add broth, apple juice, squash, and pears. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until squash is tender.

Transfer soup to a blender or food processor. Pulse on and off until mixture is pureed. Return to pot.

To serve, ladle soup into individual bowls and spoon a generous tablespoonful of low-fat sour cream in the center. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
