2 tablespoons butter
   2 large leeks, chopped
   1 large onion, chopped
   1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
   1 cup diced carrots
   2 cups peeled, cubed butternut squash
   1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick
   1 quart chicken stock
   1/2 cup light cream
   1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
   Salt and pepper to taste
   2 tablespoons chopped chives


Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in leeks and onions, and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potato, squash, carrots, apple, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes.

Carefully puree the soup in batches in a blender, or use a stick blender to puree the soup right in the pot. Once the soup has been pureed, return it to the pot and stir in wine and cream. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper; simmer gently for 5 minutes. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped chives.
