Directions

Heat butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium-low heat and stir in the onion, apples, potato and squash.

Season with salt and pepper and cook until the onion is soft, 7 to 9 minutes.

Stir in the sage and flour.

Add the cider and cook over high heat, stirring, until thickened.

Add the broth and milk, cover and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the potato is soft, about 9 minutes.

At the same time, heat the remaining ½ tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Stir in the prosciutto and cook until crisp, turning occasionally, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Stir in the cheese to the soup and mix over medium-low heat until melted.

Purée in a blender in batches until smooth, season with salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle with the prosciutto, more cheese and parsley or chives or scallions.

Serve with crusty bread or croutons.

Note: For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and omit the proscuitto.
