This recipe was sent in by Jo De Davis. She says, "This recipe was from the recent Penzey's catalog and it made a delicious loaf. I ran out of flour and had to substitute 1 cup almond meal for 1 cup of flour. I used pecans for the nuts. I also mixed yellow and zucchini squash--I had more yellow than zucchini, about three to one."

The basic recipe makes about 10 servings.
Ingredients
About 5 lbs of butternut squash (I used 2 large ones)
Water
2 [sweet] apples - I don't recommend tart ones like Granny Smith
3 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon basil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cardomom
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 Tablespoon Turkish* saffron (safflower blossoms) rubbed to separate them
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Tiny pinch (a short 1/8 teaspoon) ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground pepper (more or less to taste)
1-1/2 teaspoons of salt (or more to taste)
*Safflower blossoms may also be called spanish saffron - but its NOT the expensive saffron
Directions
Remove the skin from the squash, and cut into chunks. You can bake it on a baking sheet, but I cooked mine in a pot of water for about 15 minutes until the squash was soft.
While the squash cooks, peel the apples and cook them (with no water) to applesauce stage - about 4 minutes in the microwave - and then smashed them with a fork into a smooth sauce.
Take the squash chunks out of the water (with tongs) and let them cool until your can handle them. Pour the broth that was formed into another container to cool a bit. When the squash chunks are cool enough, scrape the flesh from the skin with a spoon and collect it in the soup pan. Blend the squash smooth, and add the applesauce and blended some more. Add back broth (from the boiling) to thin the squash - enough for your desired thickness- about 7-8 cups of broth. A little extra broth is not a bad thing because some liquid will evaporate as it's heated.
Add the seasonings, blending them in with the hand mixer, and heat the soup on medium/medium-low (about 5 on a scale of 10) until it bubbles (not a full boil). Stir occasionally and adjust the heat so that the soup doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan. A lid is recommended, because the thick soup makes a mess when it bubbles. Once heated to bubbling, it can be served very hot, or cooled to a more moderate temperature.
