Author Notes
Ok, yes, it's yet another curried butternut squash soup recipe, BUT I put this soup together a few years ago when I wanted to add a new twist to the same-old, same-old. First, I added sweet potatoes to create a smooth and creamy texture and add a little bit of sweetness without adding any sugar. Next, the addition of tomatoes and apples lends a bit of acidity and sweetness along with the crystallized ginger for a bit of a different taste..... I hope anyway! —jenmmcd

Note: If you want a totally smooth and silky soup, you can strain the finished soup through a sieve or colander with very small holes. Do this before you add the milk.
