This combination of sweet and tart flavors is incredible. To save time, shop for squash that has been peeled and cubed.
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Spray a non-stick saucepan with cooking oil, add the vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Cook the onion, garlic and ginger for 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and beginning to brown.
2. Add the stock, squash, apple, apple juice concentrate and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
3. Transfer to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth, working in batches if necessary.
4. Ladle into individual bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of parsley.
