INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the pumpkin or winter squash in half
and remove all seeds. Place cut side up on a cookie sheet and bake 45
minutes, or until soft. Remove the pulp from the shell, puree in a food
processor fitted with a metal blade, and reserve. Heat the butter in a
large, heavy-bottomed soup pot until foamy. Add all of the vegetables
(except the reserved pumpkin or squash) and saute 10 minutes. Add the
chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, then add the pumpkin
puree and the spices. Cook 45 minutes, adding the maple syrup and heavy
cream in the last 5 minutes of cooking. To make the Apple Schnitz Croutons:
Peel and core the apples and slice into paper-thin rings using a food
processor fitted with a vegetable slicing disk. Spread the slices on a
non-stick cookie sheet or one lined with parchment paper. Dust with light
brown sugar, and dry in a preheated 300 degree oven approximately 25 to 30
minutes, or until crisp. When the soup has finished cooking, cool several
minutes before pureeing in small batches in a blender or food processor.
Serve immediately, garnished with the Apple Schnitz Croutons. This recipe
yields 10 to 12 servings.
