MPC082509 Medicaid #TC7223 Like us on Facebook: Facebook.com/PresHealth Makes 4 servings. Ingredients 2 boxes (16 ounces each) frozen pureed winter (butternut) squash 2 medium apples (try Golden Delicious or Gala) 1 tablespoon olive oil ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 2 cans (12 ounces each) fat-free evaporated milk ¼ teaspoon salt ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper Directions • Place the frozen squash in a microwave-safe dish. Cover loosely. Defrost in the microwave on medium power for 5 to 10 minutes, until mostly thawed. • Meanwhile, peel then shred the apples using a grater or food processor, or peel and finely chop apples into thin strips. Set aside ¼ cup. • Warm oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add all but ¼ cup of the apples. Cook and stir until apples soften, about 5 minutes. • Stir in thawed squash and pumpkin pie spice. • Add the evaporated milk about ½ cup at a time, stirring after each addition. • Season with salt and pepper. • Cook and stir over high heat just until soup is about to boil. • Ladle into individual soup bowls. • Top each with a tablespoon of the unused apples. Sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice, if desired. Tip: For chunkier soup, try two bags (14 ounces each) frozen diced butternut squash. Or cut a fresh butternut squash into small chunks, and place in a microwave-safe dish covered with 1 inch of water. Microwave on high for 5 to 10 minutes or until squash is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Remove skin. Place squash in blender, and blend to desired consistency.
