Squash And Apple Soup, from 100 Best Vegetarian Recipes:
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups peeled, chopped apples
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup water
2 cups peeled, cubed butternut or buttercup squash
1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

1. In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the apples and onion; cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the ginger and nutmeg until absorbed. Add the broth and water; bring to a boil. Add the squash and return to a boil. Reduce heat and summer, uncovered, 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

2. Place half of the soup in a blender or food processor. Cover and puree until smooth. Repeat with remaining soup, salt, and red pepper. Return soup to pot and reheat if necessary.

had leftover chicken, cooked it up with some of the tomatoes i got at the farmers market this morning and green beans from saturday. roasted one of the garlics i bought this morning and spread it on some toasted whole wheat bread. better than butter!
