4-pound butternut squash (or other winter squash )
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (or vegetable oil)
2 medium onions ( chopped )
1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
Optional: 3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon ginger (fresh grated)
1 teaspoon ground ginger

PURéED WINTER SQUASH SOUP WITH GINGER



Puréed Winter Squash Soup With Ginger image

One of the most comforting dishes you can make with winter squash is a puréed soup. I use rice to thicken this one, but you could also use a potato, or not add additional starch at all, as the squash itself has a lot of body. To enhance the flavor, this one calls for ginger, with a little lime juice and a swirl of yogurt added before serving.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon canola or rice bran oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, diced
2 pounds peeled winter squash, like butternut or kabocha
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
6 1/2 cups water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
1/3 cup rice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ginger juice (made by grating a teaspoon of fresh ginger, wrapping in cheesecloth and squeezing the cheesecloth)
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 lime
4 to 6 tablespoons plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the winter squash, garlic and minced ginger and cook, stirring, until the mixture smells fragrant, about 1 minute
  • Add the water or stock, the rice and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the squash is very tender
  • Using a hand blender, or in batches in a regular blender, purée the soup. If using a regular blender, cover the top with a towel pulled down tight, rather than airtight with the lid. Return to the pot and heat through. Stir in the ginger juice, taste and season with salt and pepper. If desired, thin out with a little more water or stock
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and add a tablespoon of yogurt (more to taste), then slowly swirl the yogurt into the soup with a spoon. Squeeze a few drops of lime juice onto each serving and sprinkle with whisper of nutmeg

GINGER BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Ginger Butternut Squash Soup image

The combination of ginger and butternut squash is delicious and addictive. This recipe yields a creamy soup without the use of any cream. I love to whip this soup up with my immersion blender right in the pot. This soup also freezes well. You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream if you desire, although I serve it without a garnish. If you want to make this a completely dairy free soup, use dairy free margarine (Fleishman's unsalted, or Earth Balance.) Oh yeah, and you MUST use fresh ginger.

CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH GINGER



Creamy Butternut Squash Soup With Ginger image

I was intrigued by the addition of apple vinegar to "round out" the flavor profile of this soup. A couple tablespoons of decoratively swirled creme fraiche (or sour cream) & a sprinkling of toasted slivered almonds makes for an elegant presentation. Found in the Tribune's Food & Drink Weekly.

Provided by Busters friend

Categories     Onions

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 lbs butternut squash
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons gingerroot, minced fresh
6 cups water
2 teaspoons salt, more to taste
apple cider vinegar, to taste (about a tablespoon)
2 tablespoons creme fraiche (or sour cream) (optional)
1 tablespoon almonds, toasted & slivered

Steps:

  • Peel the squash, using a sharp vegetable peeler. Cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut in 1-inch chunks.
  • Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it softens, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger root and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the diced squash, water and salt and bring to a simmer. Cook at a low simmer until the squash is tender enough to smash with a spoon, about 30 minutes.
  • Puree the soup, either using an immersion blender or grinding it in several stages in a regular blender. The soup should be completely smooth and a little thicker than heavy cream. Ladle the soup through a strainer into a clean soup pot, discarding any bits of squash or ginger left behind.
  • Heat the soup through once more and season to taste, adding salt first and then the vinegar. Add the vinegar one-half teaspoons at a time; it will take a little more than 1 tablespoons.
  • To serve, stir the crème fraîche to loosen the texture. Ladle the soup into wide bowls and spoon 1 to 2 Tbsps. of crème fraîche in a decorative pattern onto each. Scatter a few toasted slivered almonds over the soup and serve immediately.

CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH CINNAMON SOUP



Creamy Butternut Squash With Cinnamon Soup image

A pureed vegetable soup can be an impressive, easy and affordable first course for an elegant dinner, or even a light dinner on its own with salad and bread.

Provided by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Cream Soup Recipes

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:

  • Choose the right butternut squash. Look for one that is firm, heavy for its size, and has a smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Roast the butternut squash before pureeing it. This will help to concentrate the flavor and make the soup more velvety.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • Don't be afraid to add some spices. Ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon are all great additions to butternut squash soup.
  • Serve the soup with a garnish. A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil are all great options.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion dinner.
