Saute 1 small onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons butter in a large stock pot
Add to the pot and simmer together:
1 medium butternut squash (peeled, de-seeded)
1 medium macintosh apple (peeled, cored)
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cube vegetable bullion
about 4 cups water? maybe more
Simmer until squash and apple chunks get mushy. Add some spices. I added salt, and very very small amounts of coriander, dill, savory, bay leaves, and mint. Simmer some more, skim the spices out (optional), add a cup of light cream, and puree. Serve with a swirl of plain yogurt.
