This recipe is from the Disney Villains cookbook. The queen used an apple to cast a spell, but the fruit in this recipe supplies nothing more than a touch of sweetness to an already yummy golden soup.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp butter

1 large onion

2 medium carrots,

chopped

2 stalks celery,

chopped

2 garlic cloves, 

minced

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

About 6 cups

butternut squash,

chopped

2 medium apples,

4 cups chicken broth

Method

1.  In a large pot over a medium heat, melt the butter and oil. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, salt and pepper, cook for 1 minute. Stir in the squash and apples, then add the broth.

2.  Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, then let cook until vegetables are completely softened, about 12 minutes.
