This soup captures the taste of autumn with minimal fuss. It is
especially delicious served cold with a dollop of sour cream. To make
a lower calorie version, use half of the butter and garnish with
yogurt.

Saute the onion and squash in the butter for 2 minutes. Add the apple
juice, chicken stock, apple, and seasoning. Cook until vegetables are
tender, then puree in blender. Serve warm with sour cream on side.
Garnish with parsley. Can be served hot or cold.

Yield: 6 Servings
