Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium-size butternut squash, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup thinly sliced fennel
1 teaspoon thinly sliced ginger
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 slices double-smoked bacon, or best available
1/4 cup dry vermouth
2 tablespoons cognac
2/3 cup tomato juice
6 cups lobster stock, shrimp stock, clam stock or fish stock
1 pod star anise
6 pods green cardamom
1/2 cup tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon crème fraîche
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/8 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/4 cup roasted pumpkinseeds

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter until it foams. Add the squash, fennel, ginger and garlic and cook slowly until soft, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir, then cook for 5 or 6 minutes to incorporate.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pan set over medium-high heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain over paper towels. Reserve.
  • Add the vermouth and cognac to deglaze the first pan, and reduce the liquids until the pan is almost dry. Add the tomato juice and reduce it by half, approximately 3 minutes. Add the stock, anise and cardamom and simmer until it has reduced by roughly half, about 30 minutes. When the bisque has reduced, remove from heat and stir in the tarragon. Cover and steep for 5 minutes. Whisk in the crème fraîche, then strain bisque through a fine-meshed sieve or chinois.
  • Season with salt, lime juice and cayenne. Serve immediately with a slice of crisp bacon over the top, and a sprinkle of pumpkinseeds.

Butternut Bisque With Spinach and Shrimp image

This creamy soup is easy to put together, and tastes so rich and amazing, you'll think you are at a five star restaurant. This recipe is safe for those on a gluten-free diet, and can be AIP, and low FODMAP friendly (see note below).

Provided by Spoonless Kitchen

Categories     Lactose Free

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 medium butternut squash
1 teaspoon garlic-infused olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon parsley
1/8 teaspoon chives
1/8 teaspoon tarragon
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic-infused olive oil
1 large carrot, diced
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon tarragon
1/4 cup sherry wine
3 cups chicken broth
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 -3 cups Baby Spinach
4 green onion tops (chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peal, de-seed, and dice the butternut squash. In a large bowl (or the soup pot you intend to use later) toss the butternut cubes with the next 7 ingredients (through tarragon). Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for around 30 minutes or until cubes are tender but not toasted on the edges.
  • While the squash is baking, peal and devein your shrimp. Pat dry, and toss with salt, cayenne, and garlic-infused oil. (You can add a little Italian seasoning here if you like but it is not necessary.) Set aside.
  • When the squash is nearly done cooking, dice the carrots, and then begin to gently saute them in a large soup pot with some olive oil. Add the sage, basil, and tarragon. Do not burn the herbs. Add the now done squash and stir to combine. The squash should begin to break down.
  • Pour in the sherry to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Then add the broth and coconut milk. Stir to combine. Add the brown sugar and salt to taste, then simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  • While your soup is simmering, place your shrimp on the now empty sheet pan, and roast the shrimp for about 5 or 10 minutes, or until they turn pink. Do not over-cook the shrimp.
  • When the shrimp is done, Toss in the spinach and green onion at the last minute, and stir to wilt. (Don't add the shrimp to the pot. Add them to each person's bowl. That way leftovers can be heated up without overcooking the shrimp. You can heat the shrimp separately.).
  • NOTE: For AIP, leave off the pepper or substitute a little horseradish on the shrimp. For FODMAP, be aware that butternut is a warning food, and should be eaten sparingly. 1/4 cup of butternut is safe to eat, but as it is "thinned out" with broth and coconut milk in this recipe, you should be safe to eat a cup of soup without difficulty. I have not done the math, so you will have to judge for yourself.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for a butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size. The skin should be smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the squash before pureeing it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash whole or in pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the shrimp: When cooking the shrimp, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
  • Serve immediately: Butternut squash bisque is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash bisque with shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The soup is creamy and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the butternut squash. The shrimp adds a nice protein boost and makes the soup even more hearty. If you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, this is the one for you.
