Butternut Squash and Curried Apple Soup

I love fall, because I love soup!

Again, I cooked for others, so didn't think to take a picture until I was all cleaned up. But standing on the right, that's my newest toy. I've always wanted one. Pouring hot soup into a blender or food processor has never been a talent of mine. I finally got a handy dandy hand blender.However did I survive without it? (I can actually answer that - with burns spotting my arms and hands whenever pureeing soup.)
