Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving

1 small onion, coarsely chopped

1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped

2 apples, such as Gala, peeled, cored, and sliced (3 cups)

3 pounds rutabagas, peeled and chopped (8 cups)

1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Coarse salt

Preparation

Melt butter in a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add onion, ginger, and apples; cook, stirring frequently, until onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes.

Stir in rutabagas, broth, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring once halfway through, until rutabagas are tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Serve immediately, topped with butter.
