Time 1h

Yield 3 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 large)
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
5 pounds butternut squash (2 large)
1 1/2 pounds sweet apples, such as McIntosh (4 apples)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups water
2 cups good apple cider or juice

Steps:

  • Warm the butter, olive oil, onions, and curry powder in a large stockpot uncovered over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the onions are tender. Stir occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pot.
  • Peel the squash, cut in half, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into chunks. Peel, quarter, and core the apples. Cut into chunks.
  • Add the squash, apples, salt, pepper, and 2 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook over low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, until the squash and apples are very soft. Process the soup through a food mill fitted with a large blade, or puree it coarsely in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade.

CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH APPLES AND BACON



Creamy Butternut Squash Soup With Apples and Bacon image

From the forums on Mothering.com. Sounds amazing! She says: WARNING! This soup has a bit of a kick to it, so you might want to reduce the red and/or black pepper. It's not much kick, mostly heat, but I wanted to put out an FYI for those of you don't appreciate the heat so much. I'm posting this here to make this week. ETA: I used 5 pieces of thick-cut bacon and 1 Braeburn apple, and 4 cups of water + 2 tsp of chicken boullion and 2 tsp of beef bouillion and forgot the lime and it is AWESOME!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 slices bacon
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
1 -2 granny smith apple (Any firm, slightly tart apple would work.)
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 lbs fresh butternut squash, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/2-1 teaspoon salt (To taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
1/4 cup cream (I use heavy cream.)
sour cream (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in large soup pot until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside to drain. Discard bacon grease, reserving 2 tablespoons in the pot. (Crumble bacon when cool.).
  • Add onions and carrots to soup pot. Saute for approximately five minutes over medium heat until onions are soft. Add celery and apple and saute for another five minutes. Add garlic and saute very briefly, approximately one minute.
  • Add squash and chicken broth. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat again and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes until carrots are tender.
  • If you have an immersion blender, process the mixture in the pot until smooth. If not, CAREFULLY process the mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return mixture to pot.
  • Stir in lime juice. Add all remaining ingredients (except garnish) and 2 pieces of reserved crumbled bacon. Simmer for an additional ten minutes until thickened. (Be sure not to boil again as the cream will not be so lovely.).
  • Garnish with remaining bacon, sour cream, and red pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash. Look for a squash that is heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the butternut squash before using it in the soup. Roasting brings out the squash's natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a broth that has a lot of flavor. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even apple cider.
  • Add some spices to the soup. A few well-chosen spices can really enhance the flavor of the soup. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg, cinnamon, or ginger.
  • Serve the soup with a garnish. A garnish can add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Try serving it with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Creamy butternut squash and apple soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a light lunch. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
