Best 4 Hubbard Squash Soup Recipes

BLUE HUBBARD SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut the squash in half. Remove the seeds and place the squash cut side-down on a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until you can pierce a fork through the flesh of the squash, about 40 minutes. Do not overcook it so it becomes mushy. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
• Peel off the skin from the squash or use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Add squash to the pot, cover with vegetable broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, about 15 minutes.
• Turn off heat and remove the lid. Stir in coconut milk and lemon juice and allow to cool slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender in batches, or use an immersion blender, to blend the soup until it is silky smooth.

HUBBARD SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Cut Hubbard Squash in two pieces.
• Put in roasting pan with 2 inches water on bottom of pan.
• Cover with foil, bake at 350 2-3 hours, until tender. Using a spoon, scrape all the yellow squash into a bowl (careful not to take the green unripened part). Set aside.
• Saute onion in 2 tablespoons butter till carmalized.
• Put all ingredients into a food processor and process until very smooth.
• (My food processor is small, so I do this in small batches and put each into a large pot, then stir till all is combined.).
• Add the steamed brocolli and ham cubes.

ROASTED HUBBARD SQUASH SOUP WITH HAZELNUTS AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine olive oil, garlic, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, and sage in a mortar; pound with a pestle until consistency is like a coarse paste. Rub spice mixture on the cut-sides of the squash halves. Place squash onto the prepared baking sheet with cut-sides down.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, turn cut-sides up, and cool until easily handled. Scrape insides of squash into a bowl; you should have about 5 cups.
• Melt butter in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leek, carrots, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leek is softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add reserved squash, chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt, and bay leaf. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until soup's flavor has developed, about 30 minutes.
• Remove and discard bay leaf. Fill blender halfway with soup. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a pot. Repeat with remaining soup. Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with hazelnuts, chives, and Espelette pepper.
