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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 3/4 pounds orange-flesh winter squash, such as butternut
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium leek, trimmed, white and green parts, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger, or more to taste
1 medium parsnip, (4 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
2 three-quarter-inch slices whole-wheat bread, crusts removed
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and fiber, and peel. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces, and set aside.

  • Meanwhile, cut the bread into 1/2-inch cubes. Toast under the broiler until golden brown. Sprinkle with Parmesan, and return to the broiler, until the cheese begins to melt. Serve the soup in individual bowls with the toasted-cheese croutons on top.

Tips:

- Choose the right squash: For the best flavor, choose a winter squash that is ripe and in season. Look for squash that is heavy for its size and has a deep color. - Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast the squash until it is tender and slightly caramelized. - Use a good quality broth: The broth is a key ingredient in this soup, so be sure to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and has a rich flavor. - Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is pureed, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed.
