Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds peeled and seeded butternut squash , cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Garnish: store-bought apple chips

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  • Add butternut squash, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  • Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until squash is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  • Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Butternut Squash Soup image

I've never met anyone who doesn't like butternut squash soup. It's a crowd-pleaser and so easy to make your own. It's colorful, it can be made ahead, and it's incredibly versatile-try adding coconut milk, finishing with toasted, chopped pecans, and/or cinnamon; serve it hot, serve it cold. And this vegetarian soup can easily be made vegan by omitting the cream.

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 quarts or 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 Spanish onions, diced
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 green apples, unpeeled, cored and diced, plus more finely chopped to garnish
1 to 2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 pounds butternut squash (about 2 large squashes), peeled and cubed
2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup heavy cream, or coconut, soy or almond milk, alternatively

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and 1 teaspoon of the salt and saute, covered, until the onions are translucent and sweaty, achieving no color, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic about halfway through sweating the onions.
  • Add the apples, curry powder, and cayenne and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to extract the apple flavor and bloom the spices. Season with salt.
  • Add the squash and stock, season with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat to maintain a low simmer, and cook, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes (checking after 15 minutes), or until the squash is fork-tender.
  • Add the cream, stir, and cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Remove from the heat and let the soup cool until you can safely transfer it to a blender or food processor, working in batches as needed and adding water as needed to achieve the correct consistency.
  • Return the pureed soup to the pot to reheat, then serve, or transfer to containers, cool, seal tightly, and store in the fridge or freezer.

SLOW-COOKER BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Slow-Cooker Butternut Squash Soup image

Much of the work for this soup can be done in advance, and it keeps all day in the slow cooker. This can easily be doubled if you're feeding a crowd. Once you've tried it, try mixing it up-add save or savory with the thyme or replace it with nutmeg. For a vegan version, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth. -Jennifer Machado, Alta, California
