BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH RED ONION-APPLE TOPPING



Butternut Squash Soup With Red Onion-Apple Topping image

I have tried so many recipes for squash soup. I finally tweaked enough recipes together to make this; the best soup ever!! I add milk to make it creamy but if you want to make it vegan omit it, it is still good without it.

Provided by TheRushinChef

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 bowls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs butternut squash, cubed (about 1 1/2 inch cubes)
3 medium carrots, chopped (same size as the squash)
1 medium yellow onion (Chopped large same as squash and carrot)
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 stalk celery, chopped or 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
2 cups water
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
1/2 cup milk
1 apple, peeled and cubed (any that can be used for baking)
1 large red onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Toss squash, yellow onion, and carrots with 2TBSP oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Place celery(or seed), garlic, and herbs in a pot with 2 cups water; stew over medium-low heat to create stock, about 20 minutes.
  • Add squash mixture to pot and use a stick blender to puree. If you do not have a stick blender you can throw it in a blender.
  • Then, add can of coconut milk and puree. Give it a taste; if needed (or wanted), add milk and adjust salt and pepper.
  • Leave it on the stove for a little longer (15 min) and allow it to simmer while making the toppping.
  • Topping: Heat 1 TBSP olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, when it is cooked about half way add the apples; cook until the apples and onions are caramelized.
  • To serve: pour into bowls and top with Apple-Onion Topping. This reheats really well. I store the topping separate. Sometimes it thickens a bit after refrigerating; if you want it looser just add some more water or milk.

RED ONION SOUP



Red Onion Soup image

Provided by Peggy Markel

Categories     Soup/Stew     Onion     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Lunch     Fall     Simmer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds red onions, sliced
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 14 1/2-ounce cans beef broth

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until brown, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle flour over onions; stir 2 minutes. Gradually mix in broth, scraping up browned bits from pan bottom. Simmer 15 minutes. Working in batches and using on/off turns, blend soup in processor to coarse puree. Return soup to pot and bring just to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls.

Tips:

  • Use flavorful red onions: Choose ripe, deep-red onions for the best flavor. Avoid using white or yellow onions, as they have a milder flavor and will not produce as vibrant a soup.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly: Caramelizing the onions is essential for developing their sweetness and depth of flavor. Cook the onions over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply browned and caramelized.
  • Use a good quality beef broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and has a rich flavor.
  • Add a splash of red wine: Red wine adds a subtle depth of flavor to the soup. If you don't have red wine on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of white wine or even water.
  • Use a good quality bread for the croutons: The croutons are the finishing touch to the soup, so it's important to use a good quality bread. Look for a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the soup, but not too dense.

Conclusion:

Red onion soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your soup mild or spicy, creamy or brothy, there is a red onion soup recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful soup, give red onion soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
