Nice soup that virtually screams fall! I've had butternut-apple soup before, but I chose this one because of the curry. I was amazed at how nicely this thickened up. The apples give it a little sweetness and depending on what curry powder you use, there's a bit of heat too. I used fresh grated ginger (didn't measure, but it was probably around a tablespoon) and a hand/stick blender to puree it. Thank you!

WOW, I cheated a little for the rice I used a pack I had in the pantry TILDA BUTTERNUT SQUASH & BROWN BASMATI RICE. I had a mix of apples sweet and green so I simply lumped them as apples and measured out the amount needed - blended it in my Nutra Bullet and magic smooth soup with the most wonderful flavor. This recipe is a keeper and is nice both hot or cold with a big dob of light sour cream or Greek Yoghurt, I also sprinkled the top with some chopped cashews when serving.
