BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND TURNIP SOUP



Butternut Squash and Turnip Soup image

This is an original recipe, created from the need to do something with a squash and some turnips before they expired. It makes quite a few servings, so if desired, it can be halved, and a smaller squash (i.e. acorn squash) can be used.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND GREEN CURRY SOUP



Butternut Squash and Green Curry Soup image

This creamy, vibrant soup is a Thai-inspired version of the puréed squash soup you know and love. The green curry paste, which is relatively easy to find in the international aisle of the grocery store, along with coconut milk and fish sauce, perfectly complements the butternut squash's sweetness. But it's the topping - a spin on miang kham, a snack in Thailand and Laos full of peanuts, coconut and chiles - that's the real standout.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 tablespoons coconut oil or neutral-tasting oil
3 medium shallots, diced
1 (2-inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
1 lemongrass stalk, cut into 3-inch pieces
Kosher salt
2 medium butternut squashes (about 4 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into about 3/4-inch cubes
2 (13 1/2-ounce) cans coconut milk
6 to 8 tablespoons Thai green curry paste, or to taste
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 to 4 cups water or chicken stock, preferably homemade
3/4 cup raw peanuts
3/4 cup unsweetened raw coconut flakes
2 tablespoons fish sauce
8 small dried red chiles, such as Japones or chiles de árbol, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon neutral-tasting or melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon minced lemongrass
1 teaspoon sugar
10 lime leaves, thinly sliced (optional)
Handful of Thai or Italian basil leaves
2 to 3 limes, quartered

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Melt oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add shallots, ginger, lemongrass and a generous pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are tender and just starting to brown, about 18 minutes.
  • Add squash, coconut milk, curry paste, 3 tablespoons fish sauce and 3 cups water or stock. Increase heat to high. When liquid comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook the soup covered until squash is tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Make garnish while soup cooks: In a medium mixing bowl, toss together peanuts, coconut flakes, fish sauce, chiles, 1 tablespoon oil, the minced lemongrass, the sugar and the lime leaves, if using.
  • Spread mixture out onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes after the first 10 minutes. Remove from oven when coconut is deep golden brown, and pour mixture immediately into a bowl to prevent overcooking. Stir to combine, and set aside.
  • Remove soup from heat. Remove lemongrass stalks from pot. Use a hand blender to purée soup. Alternatively, transfer soup in batches to a blender or food processor and purée. Taste and adjust for salt and curry paste. Add water or stock to thin soup to the desired consistency.
  • Thinly slice the basil leaves and arrange on a small plate or platter, along with lime wedges and peanut mixture. Serve soup hot with garnishes.

BUTTERNUT AND TURNIP SOUP



Butternut and Turnip Soup image

Okay, before you turn up your nose, just hear me out :) Butternut soup always tastes a little too sweet for me, so today I tried adding a turnip. It was the perfect complement, now the taste is just right. For me at least!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 -2 carrot, sliced fine
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 turnip, diced
1 1/2 sodium-free chicken bouillon
4 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (unflavored) or 2 cups milk
1 -2 teaspoon coriander
1 -2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter over medium heat, add onion and carrots and saute until soft.
  • Add garlic and saute a few more minutes.
  • Add a bit salt at each stage, then a little more if needed at the end. I use a total of 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt for the entire recipe.
  • Add squash, turnip and bouillon, then just enough water to barely cover the veggies.
  • Cover and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 minutes or until squash is tender.
  • Select a pan to make the roux (white sauce). I use a large, wide pan, large enough to hold the roux plus the vegetable soup.
  • Make the roux by sauteeing flour in butter til golden, then slowly stir in the milk or almond milk. Heat until thickened, stirring frequently, then turn off heat.
  • Puree the vegetable soup in blender until smooth, then stir it into the thickened roux.
  • Add the spices, salt and pepper to taste.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cupquinoa
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium turnip
1 large garlic clove
4 scallions
2 ounces green beans
1 cup 1/3-inch cubes butternut squash

Steps:

  • In a sieve rinse quinoa under cold running water until water runs clear.
  • In a small saucepan bring water to a boil with quinoa and salt and simmer mixture, covered, over moderately low heat until just cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain quinoa in sieve (do not rinse) and spread out on a plate to cool.
  • Peel turnip and cut into 1/3-inch cubes. Mince garlic. Slice scallions thin on the diagonal and cut beans into 1/3-inch pieces.
  • In a steamer set over 1 inch boiling water combine squash, turnip, and garlic and steam vegetables, covered, 7 minutes, or until almost tender. Add beans, quinoa, and salt and pepper to taste and steam 3 minutes, or until beans are crisp-tender. Transfer mixture to a bowl and toss with scallions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm, heavy for its size, and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that has any soft spots or bruises.
  • Roast the squash before adding it to the soup: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. It also helps to caramelize the sugars in the squash, which gives the soup a rich, complex flavor.
  • Use a variety of greens: In addition to turnip greens, you can also use other hearty greens such as kale, collard greens, or spinach. This will give the soup a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the greens: Greens should be cooked until they are just tender, but not mushy. Overcooked greens will lose their flavor and nutrients.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for a finishing touch.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash and turnip green soup is a delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and it is also a good source of fiber. This soup is also very versatile, and it can be customized to your own liking. For example, you can add different spices, herbs, or vegetables to create a soup that is unique to you.
