KOREAN FUSION BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Korean Fusion Butternut Squash Soup image

This is my twist of a Modern American Classic -- taking it back to the Far East -- Korea. You can easily transform this into a Vegan recipe by substituting vegetable stock for Chicken Stock, and using your choice of vegan sausage in the garnish. Note: Requires Korean Specialty Ingredients: • Hot pepper paste -- Gochujang 고추장 • Soybean paste -- Doenjang 된장 • King Oyster Mushroom - 새송이 버섯 • Korean style sesame oil -- Chamgireum 참기름

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 butternut squash (split and roasted for 1 hour @ 350f or until fork tender)
6 cups chicken stock (can substitute vegetable stock)
2 medium carrots (grated)
1 small onion (diced)
1 celery rib (diced)
1 sprig marjoram
6 garlic cloves (smashed)
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons soybean paste (Korean Doenjang)
3 Italian sausages (I use Turkey, can substitute vegan alternative)
1 king oyster mushroom (Diced)
6 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tablespoons red pepper paste (Korean Gochujang)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • Place stock, garlic, bay leaves, and marjoram into your soup pot and bring just up to a low boil for about 15 minutes, then reduce heat to simmer. Scoop out marjoram, garlic and bay leaves prior to adding next ingredients to the pot.
  • While stock is coming up to temperature sauté the Mirepoix vegetables in sesame oil until they begin to caramelize. Then transfer to the stock pot. Scoop the roasted butternut squash out of the squash skins and add to the pot as well. Now, bring heat up on pot and maintain a high simmer, just below boiling.
  • Just prior to serving add Korean soybean paste then blend until smooth with an immersion blender (alternately you can transfer to a VitaMix or other blender).
  • • In a small bowl, wisk together the water, hot pepper paste and sesame oil.
  • Remove skins from sausage and place in a sauté pan and cook until most of the pink is gone and the pork is crumbled. Next add the mushroom, garlic and pepper paste mixture and bring pan to a boil. Reduce heat and continue to cook until most of the liquid is reduced.
  • Serving: Ladle soup into bowls and top with garnish and serve.

Coconut Butternut Squash Soup image

Once you've got the squash baked, this soup comes together quickly. The mellow flavors of squash, kale and red onions synergize delectably and look gorgeous together as well.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil or other vegetable oil
1 large yellow or sweet white onion, chopped
1 medium apple, any variety, peeled and diced
2 cups prepared vegetable broth, or 2 cups water with 1 vegetable bouillon cube
2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder
2 teaspoons grated fresh or jarred ginger, or more, to taste
Pinch of ground nutmeg or allspice
1 14-ounce can light coconut milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 medium red onions, quartered and thinly sliced
1 good-size bunch kale (about 10 to 12 ounces)

Steps:

  • To bake the squash, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut in half and place halves, cut side up, in a foil-lined, shallow baking dish and cover tightly with more foil. Bake for 30 to 50 minutes, until you can easily pierce the flesh with a knife. Scoop out and set aside.
  • Heat about half the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the apple, squash, broth and spices. Bring to a steady simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the apples are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the solids to a food processor with a slotted spoon, in batches if need be, and process until smoothly pureed, then transfer back to the soup pot. Or better yet, simply insert an immersion blender into the pot and process until smoothly pureed.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and return the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until well heated through. Season with salt and pepper. If time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or two, then heat through as needed before serving.
  • Just before serving, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet. Add the red onions and sauté over low heat until golden and soft.
  • Meanwhile, strip the kale leaves off the stems and cut into thin shreds. Stir together with the onions in the skillet, adding just enough water to moisten the surface. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the kale is bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • To serve, ladle soup into each bowl, then place a small mound of kale and onion mixture in the center.
