Ingredients

• 1 onion chopped
• 3 slices bacon
• 4 apples peeled and diced
• 24 ounces frozen winter squash puree or fresh butternut squash puree
• 12 ounces vegetable broth
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 Tablespoon orange juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. In a large soup pot, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Remove all but about two teaspoons of the bacon grease from the pan.
2. Cook the onion and the apples in the bacon grease until soft.
3. While the onions and apples are cooking, partially defrost the squash. Place the frozen squash in a large bowl and microwave on 60% power for about 5 minutes.
4. Once the onions and apples are soft, add the squash, and spices. Cook over medium heat until the squash is hot. Add the broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook to let the flavors blend, about 15 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and puree soup using an immersion blender.
6. Add the orange juice and stir. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
7. Spoon into bowls, and top with crumbled bacon.
