BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Butternut Squash Soup image

This simple, creamy (but not cream-laden) butternut squash soup gets greater depth of flavor from sherry that is stirred in with the stock. If you'd rather not use sherry or don't have it on hand, omit it and use an additional 1/2 cup of stock; your soup will be less complex, but it will still have that rich, sweet squash flavor.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 1/2 cups peeled butternut squash in 2-inch cubes (about 2 squashes)
4 1/2 cups water
1 cup well-flavored chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup medium-dry sherry
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy four-quart saucepan. Add the onions, reduce heat to low, and saute slowly until they are tender but not brown. Stir in the garlic.
  • Add the squash and water, cover and simmer until the squash is tender, about 40 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool for about 15 minutes, then puree in two batches in a food processor. Up to this point the soup can be prepared in advance, even refrigerated or frozen.
  • Return the puree to the saucepan and add the stock and the sherry. Reheat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese on each portion.

Roasted Butternut Squash Cream Soup with Ginger image

This is our favorite butternut squash soup and the whole family loves it. I usually make a huge pot of soup and freeze parts of it before adding the cream. I like my soup thick, so I don't add a ton of vegetable broth, but feel free to thin it out with more broth.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has any soft spots or bruises.
  • Roast the butternut squash before pureeing it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash whole or in cubes.
  • Use a high-quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is a key ingredient in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered until the vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the soup will make it bland and watery.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or nutmeg for a little extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for cream of butternut squash soup include croutons, bacon, roasted pumpkin seeds, and fresh herbs.
