Categories     soups and stews, appetizer, side dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds winter squash (like acorn or Hubbard), halved and seeded
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried
Pinch ground allspice
1 small apple, peeled, cored and diced
4 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or to taste
Kosher salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place squash on a baking sheet, cut side down. Bake until very tender, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly.
  • While squash is roasting, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, sage and allspice. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover. Stir in apple and broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until apple is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Scoop out the squash pulp and add it to the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes. Let soup cool slightly. Working in 2 batches, puree the soup in a blender, holding the lid down firmly with a kitchen towel to prevent the steam from pushing it off. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • When ready to serve, heat soup over medium heat until it just reaches a simmer. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper. Ladle into hot soup bowls and garnish with walnuts.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 medium kabocha or butternut squash (about 4 pounds)
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 white corn tortillas, torn into large pieces
4 carrots, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 red Fresno or jalapeno chile pepper, chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
Assorted toppings:
Pomegranate seeds
Sliced scallions
Sour cream mixed with lime zest and juice
Toasted pepitas
Cooked bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Rub all over with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season the cut sides with salt and pepper. Arrange cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, about 30 minutes (a fork should easily pierce the skin). Set aside until cool enough to handle, then scoop out the squash into a bowl and discard the skin.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the carrots, red onion, chile, garlic, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion has softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the roasted squash, broth and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the carrots are very tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth; return to the pot. (Or puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender.) Add up to 1 cup water if the soup is too thick and reheat if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with toppings.
