Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients: onion, carrots, apple, squash, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, dried thyme, salt, chives, cream, and stock. Peel and chop the onion, carrots, apple, and squash.

Saute Aromatics: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, squash, and apple. Saute until softened, which should take about three minutes.

Seasoning: Once the vegetables are tender, add ground allspice, ground cinnamon, dried thyme, and chili flakes to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate the spices into the vegetables.

Simmer: Pour in the stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer, uncovered, for approximately 30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are soft and tender.

Puree: Once the vegetables are cooked through, it’s time to blend the soup to creamy perfection. Working in batches, carefully transfer the soup to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.

Combine Ingredients: Return the pureed soup to the pot. Pour in the cream and stir well to combine. Allow the soup to come to a gentle simmer, ensuring all the flavors meld together beautifully.
