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.

GINGERED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH SPICY PECAN CREAM
Dean Fearing loves the holiday feel of butternut squash, especially when it's cooked with ginger, as it is for his smooth, gently sweet soup. He tops it with whipped cream flecked with chopped pecans for a number of reasons: "Usually holiday soups have a dollop of cream-adding pecans gives it a dollop of flavor. And crunch. I think everything should have a little bit of crunch to it. Plus, this is Texas, and pecans are in Texas." Recipe by Dean Fearing from Dean Fearing's Dallas Thanksgiving. F&W Magazine, 11/07 edition.

Tips:
- Choose the right butternut squash. Look for one that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
- Roast the butternut squash before pureeing it. This step brings out the squash's natural sweetness and makes the soup richer and more flavorful.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use one that is flavorful and has a good body. You can make your own vegetable broth or use a store-bought brand that you trust.
- Don't be afraid to add spices. Spices like ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg add warmth and depth of flavor to the soup. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Garnish the soup with something special. A dollop of spicy pecan cream, a sprinkle of chopped pecans, or a drizzle of olive oil are all great ways to add a finishing touch to the soup.
Conclusion:
This gingered butternut squash soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The roasted butternut squash gives the soup a rich and flavorful base, while the ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg add warmth and depth of flavor. The spicy pecan cream is the perfect finishing touch, adding a little bit of heat and creaminess. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
