Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds peeled and seeded butternut squash , cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Garnish: store-bought apple chips

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  • Add butternut squash, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  • Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until squash is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  • Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Tips for Making Butternut Squash Soup with Chipotle Cream:

Choose the Right Squash: Select a medium-sized butternut squash with a deep orange color and a smooth, unblemished skin. A good squash will feel heavy for its size. Roast the Squash: Roasting the butternut squash intensifies its natural sweetness and flavor. Pierce the squash with a fork a few times, then roast it at 400°F for about 45 minutes, or until tender. Use Good-Quality Stock: A flavorful stock is essential for a delicious soup. Use a homemade vegetable or chicken stock if possible, or a high-quality store-bought stock. Don't Overcook the Soup: Once the soup is simmering, let it cook for just 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Overcooking the soup will make it mushy and bland. Blend the Soup until Smooth: Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the soup until it is smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, be sure to work in batches and blend on low speed to avoid splattering. Make the Chipotle Cream: The chipotle cream adds a smoky, spicy flavor to the soup. Simply combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Serve the Soup with Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of chipotle cream, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash soup with chipotle cream is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold fall or winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and savory flavors, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a heartwarming meal, give this recipe a try!
