YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
Lynne Rossetto Kasper dispenses advice all the time. Today she's focusing on Thanksgiving, from brining a turkey to a new twist on soup. The rest is just gravy (oh, and she talks about that, too).
ROAST APPLE-BUTTERNUT SOUP WITH CHILI ALMONDS AND CREAM
Serves 10, and halves easily.
Make up to three days in advance. Heat up and top with the almonds and parsley.
1 large butternut squash (2 lb.), halved, with seeds removed

2 Granny Smith, Zestar or other tart crisp apples, cored and cut into sixths
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2rib celery with leaves, cut into 1/2-in. dice
4 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. allspice
1/4c. cider vinegar
8 to 12 c. vegetable or chicken broth
Finish:
About 11/2c. whole-milk plain yogurt (Don't substitute nonfat -- the soup will be lost.)
1 c. whole salted almonds, coarsely chopped
1/2to 1 tsp. medium-hot pure chili powder
1/4c. coarsely chopped parsley
