Best 9 Butternut Squash And Cider Soup Recipes

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK AND GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds; reserve, if desired (see Cook's Note). Drizzle cut side of squash with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, cut-side down, on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast until squash is very tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
• In a 6-quart pot or Dutch oven, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add ginger and coriander; cook until very fragrant, 2 minutes. Stir in broth, 1 cup water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Scoop flesh from cooled squash into pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring a few times, 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth. Return to pot; heat over medium. Whisk in coconut milk. Cook until warmed through, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, drizzled with more coconut milk and sprinkled with toasted squash seeds, if desired. Soup can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CIDER SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a medium-size saucepan over low heat. Add the shallot, garlic and water. Cook until the shallot and garlic are softened, being careful not to let them burn, about 2 minutes.

• Carefully pour the mixture into a blender jar. Holding the top down with a towel, blend until smooth. Add the cider, light sour cream and salt. Continue blending until well combined. Soup can be made ahead up to this point. Place in a clean saucepan over low heat until heated through. Season with additional salt if needed.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP MADE WITH APPLE CIDER

Steps:

• Begin by peeling and seeding the butternut squash. Roughly cut into 3-inch chunks. In a heavy bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and cook onion until translucent.
• Add butternut squash and chicken broth, apple cider, sage, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Turn the heat up to medium-high and simmer the soup until the butternut squash is very soft and pierced easily with a fork.
• Take the soup off the heat and allow it to cool enough that it's safe to blend. With a blender, blend the soup in three batches until it's totally smooth and creamy. (If you don't have a blender you can use a hand held immersion blender although I have found they don't get soups quite as smooth.)
• Return the pureed soup to the Dutch oven. Add cream and rewarm the soup over low heat. Taste the soup now and take the time to adjust the seasonings.
• Carefully add more salt and pepper to taste. Top the soup with croutons, or Cinnamon Spiced Granola and/or a drizzle of cream or goat cheese. Enjoy!
