Step 1

1. Preheat large soup pot. Drizzle with olive oil. Add diced onion, apples and a little kosher salt. Sauté until onions are translucent. Add vegetable stock, apple sauce, and spices. Bring to a boil and cook until apples are very tender.

2. Add pumpkin and brown sugar and cook for 10 – 15 minutes over medium heat. Use a submersible blender to blend soup until it is smooth. You can also use your blender to blend the soup in batches.
