The sweet flavor of butternut squash in this soup is harmoniously balanced by the tartness of apple and aromatic spices—onion, garlic, thyme, and bay leaf—for a simple, warming soup perfect for a cool autumn day. The vegetables and fruits are first roasted in the oven to intensify their flavor, then simmered in chicken broth before being blended. Reserve a few cubes of roasted butternut squash for serving, to garnish each serving of this smooth, creamy soup.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place the pumpkin, apple, and onion on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and toss to coat. Roast in the oven until the vegetables are tender, 40-45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare a small bag of garlic, thyme, and bay leaf (wrap in cheesecloth and tie with kitchen string). In a saucepan over high heat, bring the chicken broth and bag to a gentle simmer. Add the baked apple, onion, and pumpkin (reserve a few cubes of the baked pumpkin for serving). Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and remove the soup bag. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or pour it into a blender in small batches and blend until smooth. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with cubes of roasted pumpkin.
