Servings: persons

1/4 cup (or 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
3 cups 1 inch peeled pieces of pumpkin (1 lb)
2-3 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
44 ounces low sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 teaspoons minced thyme
1/8 cup nonfat greek yogurt

1
Heat the butter in a large stock pot over medium-high heat until it is completely melted and starts to bubble. Saute onions until semi translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in garlic and saute another 2 minutes. Toss in kabocha squash, pumpkin, apple, cayenne, cumin, ginger and cinnamon. Stir to coat and saute for a few minutes more.
2
Add chicken broth, and minced thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Bring a boil, then simmer for 20-30 minutes until squash and pumpkin are soft. Remove from heat.
3
Allow to cool completely, then working in batches puree in a blender until smooth. Once the soup is pureed, transfer to serving dish and whisk in greek yogurt gradually until you've created a homogenous mixture (make sure the soup is completely cooled, otherwise the yogurt will curdle). Reheat prior to serving. Enjoy!!
