ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH CREAM SOUP WITH GINGER
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.

CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH GINGER
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.

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.

GINGER BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any squash that has 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, but be sure to pierce the skin with a fork before roasting to prevent it from bursting.
- Use a high-quality vegetable broth: The broth is a key ingredient in this soup, so be sure to use a broth that is flavorful and well-seasoned. You can use store-bought broth or make your own.
- Add a touch of ginger for a unique flavor: Ginger adds a warm, spicy flavor to the soup that complements the sweetness of the butternut squash. You can use fresh ginger or ground ginger powder.
- Cook the quinoa separately: Quinoa is a healthy and filling grain that adds a nice texture to the soup. Cook the quinoa according to the package directions and then add it to the soup.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a creamy finish.
