MY SPICED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SWEET POTATO, CARROT AND ORANGE SOUP



My Spiced Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato, Carrot and Orange Soup image

This was inspired by my other butternut squash soup recipe (#402703). The orange flavoring is optional. I use pre-cut, cubed squash when I can find it or frozen squash. You can also use a small fresh butternut squash. (The prep time assumes you are using pre-cut or frozen squash.) I use almond milk in this recipe (I like Almond Breeze) instead of cream or half and half. You can save a little time by roughly chopping the onion and garlic, because the soup will be pureed later. I do chop the ginger rather finely because it is so fibrous, and I don't want lumps in the soup that didn't get pureed.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 ounces peeled and cubed butternut squash (weighed after peeling)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut in 1/2 inch dice (I used one that weighed almost a pound before peeling)
3 small carrots, sliced
1 -2 tablespoon oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
4 cups chicken broth (I use organic low-sodium)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (or more to taste)
almond milk (I use Almond Breeze unsweetened original or unsweetened vanilla)
fresh ground pepper
salt
fresh orange juice (optional)

Steps:

  • If you are using a fresh butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Peel it and cut it into 1-inch chunks.
  • Heat the oil 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.
  • While the onions are cooking, peel and dice the sweet potato and carrots.
  • Add the cut vegetables and broth; bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook at a gentle boil until the squash is fork-tender, about 20 minutes (but this depends on the size of your squash cubes).
  • Puree the soup in several stages in a blender. For safety's sake, since the soup is hot, do not fill the jar more than about 1/4 full each time, and blend on a low speed, covering the lid with an oven mitt. The soup should be completely smooth and a little thicker than heavy cream.
  • Rinse your soup pot to remove any small chunks of food and strain it if you like (I do not strain).
  • Heat the soup through again and season to taste with cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and salt.
  • Add some almond milk, a little at a time, to give soup a creamier consistency. (Instead of almond milk or Almond Breeze, you could probably use soy or rice milk or half and half).
  • Just before serving, add about 2-3 teaspoons fresh orange juice (or to taste) to each bowl, if desired; stir to blend into soup.
  • This soup tastes fine when it has been reheated. The soup will thicken as it chills, so you may want to add extra spice right at the start, if you know you will be re-heating some later. You will need extra Almond Breeze to thin it out after it has been refrigerated. I have kept it in the fridge for as long as 4 days and it was fine.
  • You can sub pumpkin pie spice for the ground spices listed.
  • Because the veggies make the broth very flavorful, you can also use half chicken broth and half water (2 cups of each) with good results.

Provided by May S. Bsisu

Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Citrus     Sauté     Ramadan     Lentil

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for the croutons
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 cups orange lentils, picked clean and rinsed
6 cups low-sodium canned chicken or beef broth
3 slices whole-wheat or white bread, crusts removed
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Red radishes, for serving
Olives, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the lentils and stir to coat them in the oil. Add the stock and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook, removing any foam that rises to the surface, until the lentils are soft, about 45 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and set it aside to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the over to 400°F.
  • Brush olive oil over both sides of the bread slices, and cut them into small cubes. Place the cubes in a single layer in a baking dish, and toast in the oven until golden and crisp, about 7 minutes. Set the croutons aside.
  • Transfer the lentils, with their liquid, to a blender, in batches if necessary, and puree. Return the soup to the pot. (Alternatively puree the lentils right in the pot with an immersion blender.) Add the cumin, salt, and pepper and give the soup a good stir. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, and sprinkle a few croutons on top of each serving. Serve with the lemon wedges, radishes, and olives alongside.

GRETCHEN'S TOMATO ORANGE SOUP



Gretchen's Tomato Orange Soup image

Tomato soup was a childhood favorite for chef Gretchen Allison of Ducksoup Inn. At the start of her career, learning to make good soup opened the door to a whole new palette of flavors.

Provided by Duck Soup

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

⅓ cup butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups white wine
3 quarts chicken stock
3 large fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 fresh poblano chile peppers
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup creme fraiche
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place whole poblano peppers on the grate of a stove-top gas burner set to medium-high. Rotate peppers over the flame using a set of tongs until the outer skin blackens and blisters and is charred on all sides. Transfer peppers to a paper bag, tightly close the bag, and set aside for 20 minutes. Remove peppers from bag and peel off charred skin. Trim stems and seeds; discard. Chop peppers and set aside.
  • Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large stockpot. Add onion; cook and stir until lightly browned around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Pour wine into the pot over onions; bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until onions are well browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken stock, fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, poblano chiles, carrot, bay leaf, orange zest, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf and discard.
  • Pour the mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth. Strain soup through a fine mesh sieve back into the stockpot. Alternately, use a stick blender and puree the mixture right in the pot.
  • Return pureed soup to a simmer; stir in cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve topped with a dollop of creme fraiche and chopped basil.

ORANGE-SCENTED CHILLED TOMATO SOUP



Orange-Scented Chilled Tomato Soup image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings (about 5 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium carrots, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 large shallots, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons tomato paste
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons maple syrup
Zest of 1/2 small orange

Steps:

  • For the soup: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the chicken broth, orange juice, basil, maple syrup, tomato paste and the tomatoes (with juice). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or food processor, puree the soup until smooth. Cool the soup to room temperature until ready to serve, about 1 hour. Season the soup with salt and pepper.
  • For the yogurt topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, maple syrup and orange zest until smooth.
  • Ladle the soup into chilled bowls and top with a dollop of the yogurt mixture.
  • When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

GINGER-ORANGE ROASTED CARROT SOUP WITH SPICY SHRIMP



Ginger-Orange Roasted Carrot Soup with Spicy Shrimp image

Categories     Cookies     Sauce     Ginger     Side     Roast     Orange     Shrimp     Carrot     Simmer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick disks
5 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil), plus some for drizzling
Salt and black pepper
1 orange
1 teaspoon hot sauce (eyeball it)
12 large shrimp, shelled, deveined, and butterflied (see Note)
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/3 palmful
1 quart chicken stock
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, a generous handful, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Put the carrot disks on a cookie sheet, drizzle them with a little EVOO, and season them with salt and pepper. Toss the carrots around to make sure they are well coated. Spread in an even layer then roast them for 15 minutes, or until they are tender and the bottoms are browned. Stir the carrots at least twice while they roast so they cook evenly. Zest the orange and reserve.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the juice of half of the orange with the hot sauce, 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, and a little salt. Add the shrimp and toss to coat; set aside for a few minutes.
  • Preheat a soup pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, twice around the pan. Add the onions, ginger, garlic, curry powder, and salt and pepper to the pot and cook until the onions are tender and lightly colored, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. If you find the onions are browning before they are getting tender, add a splash of water. Transfer the cooked onions to a blender or food processor, where they can wait for the carrots to finish roasting. Return the soup pot to the cooktop, add the chicken stock, and bring it up to a simmer.
  • When the carrots are roasted, transfer them to the blender or food processor where the onions are patiently waiting. Add a little ladle of the hot chicken stock and puree until the vegetables are smooth. Start by pulse-grinding the mixture to get it going and then let 'er rip. Add more hot stock, bit by bit, until it incorporates. Careful, sometimes when blending hot things the blender or food processor top is not tight enough and you can get splashed: put a kitchen towel over the lid for extra safety. (Hot carrot puree is not a home facial technique!) Add the carrot-onion puree to the bubbling stock and stir to combine, then let the soup gently simmer while you cook the shrimp.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining tablespoon of EVOO. Drain the shrimp and cook them on each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cooked through. Add the parsley and toss.
  • Check the soup consistency. If you want it thicker let it simmer a little bit longer; if you want it less thick, add a couple splashes of chicken stock to thin it out. Add the orange zest, stir it to combine, then taste and check for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle some soup into shallow serving bowls and arrange 3 shrimp in the center of each bowl, standing up if you can manage it.

ORANGE-SCENTED WINTER SQUASH AND CARROT SOUP



Orange-Scented Winter Squash and Carrot Soup image

I was looking around for new approaches to winter squash and found a wonderful looking recipe in "Plenty More," the latest collection from Yotam Ottolenghi, for roasted butternut squash with buckwheat polenta. The squash was seasoned with allspice, cardamom, and orange peel, among other things, and I was inspired to try these seasonings in a soup. I tied the spices, herbs and orange peel into a cheesecloth bag and simmered them in the soup to great effect. The essence of orange is especially appealing.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 allspice berries
4 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
2 bay leaves
2 thyme sprigs
10 peppercorns
Strips of zest from 1 orange
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 pound carrots, diced
2 pounds peeled winter squash, such as butternut or kabocha
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 medium potato (about 5 ounces)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh orange juice or additional stock or water
Cayenne to taste
1/4 cup cooked black quinoa
1 tablespoon toasted pistachio oil

Steps:

  • Cut a square piece of cheesecloth to make a bag for spices, herbs and orange peel. Place allspice berries, cardamom cloves, bay leaves, thyme sprigs and strips of orange zest on cheesecloth. Fold two ends over, then roll up the cheesecloth like a burrito and tie tightly with kitchen string.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add onion and carrots. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add winter squash and garlic and cook, stirring, until the mixture smells fragrant, about 1 minute. Add water or stock, potato, spice bag, and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes to 1 hour, until squash is very tender. Remove spice bag but first press it against side of the pot to extract liquid.
  • Using a hand blender, or in batches in a regular blender, purée the soup. If using a regular blender cover the top of the jar with a towel pulled down tight, rather than airtight with the lid. Return to pot and whisk in the orange juice (or additional stock or water). Taste, adjust seasonings, and heat through.
  • Toss quinoa with 1 teaspoon of the pistachio oil. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with some of the quinoa. Drizzle a little more oil over each bowl and serve.

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots and the onion and sweat until the mixture starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, orange zest and oregano and cook until fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes. Raise the heat and deglaze the pan with white wine. Add the stock and water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until the carrots are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool the mixture for about 5 minutes before processing.
  • Process the soup in a food processor or blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into serving bowls and swirl in a heaping teaspoon of sour cream before serving.

Provided by Suzanne Hamlin

Categories     weekday, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds ripe tomatoes or 2 1/2 cups canned plum tomatoes with their juices
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup minced onion
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons thinly sliced mint or basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
thin orange slices, halved cherry tomatoes, sprigs of mint or basil

Steps:

  • If using ripe tomatoes, wash, core and cut them into chunks, reserving any juice.
  • In a wide nonreactive saucepan or skillet, melt the butter, then stir in the onion and the fresh or canned tomatoes and their juices. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the stock, cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and puree in a food processor or put through a food mill. Stir in the orange juice and mint or basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover, and chill 3 hours or overnight.
  • To serve, ladle into bowls and, if desired, garnish with an orange slice or cherry tomatoes and a sprig of mint or basil.

Tips:

  • To add a burst of zesty flavor, use a combination of navel and blood oranges in your soup. The navel oranges provide a sweet and juicy base, while the blood oranges add a tart and slightly bitter note.
  • If you prefer a smoother soup, you can purée it in a blender until it reaches your desired consistency. However, be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the soup too thick.
  • If using fresh oranges, be sure to wash them thoroughly before juicing or zesting to remove any dirt or pesticides. You can also use store-bought orange juice or zest, but fresh oranges will give your soup the best flavor.
  • For a more elegant presentation, garnish your soup with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped pistachios or almonds.

Conclusion:

Orange soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover oranges or orange juice.
