Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 to 4 pounds butternut squash, peeled and seeded
2 yellow onions
2 McIntosh apples, peeled and cored
3 tablespoons good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1/2 teaspoon good curry powder
Scallions, white and green parts, trimmed and sliced diagonally
Flaked sweetened coconut, lightly toasted
Roasted salted cashews, toasted and chopped
Diced banana

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the butternut squash, onions and apples in 1-inch cubes. Place them on a sheet pan and toss with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Divide the squash mixture between 2 sheet pans and spread it in a single layer. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, until very tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the chicken stock to a simmer. When the vegetables are done, put them through a food mill fitted with the medium blade. (Alternatively, you can place the roasted vegetables in batches in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add some of the chicken stock and coarsely puree.) When all of the vegetables are processed, place them in a large pot and add enough chicken stock to make a thick soup. Add the curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings to be sure there's enough salt and pepper to bring out the curry flavor. Reheat and serve hot with condiments either on the side or on top of each serving.

Provided by Progresso

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Progresso®

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups raw winter squash (butternut, hubbard, acorn)
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup diced onion (1/4-inch)
¼ cup diced celery (1/4-inch)
¼ cup diced carrot (1/4-inch)
1 cinnamon stick
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 (32 ounce) carton Progresso® chicken broth
½ teaspoon ground toasted coriander
Roasted Winter Squash (above)
½ cup half-and-half, if desired*
2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds
½ cup Progresso® plain Panko crispy bread crumbs, toasted light brown in saute pan over medium heat

Steps:

  • To make roasted winter squash: Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat butter over medium-high heat in an ovenproof saute pan; add diced squash, salt and pepper. When squash begins to brown, place pan in oven. Roast for 15 minutes or until medium-brown on all sides. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Puree in food processor, or mash with potato masher or ricer. Measure 1 1/2 cups squash; reserve.
  • To make soup: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the onion, celery, carrot and cinnamon stick; saute until soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the broth and the coriander; bring to a boil. Simmer for several minutes. Stir in reserved squash until smooth; simmer gently to let the flavors meld, about 10 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick.
  • Puree the soup using an immersion blender or in a blender until smooth. (The soup can be made ahead to this point, cooled, covered, and refrigerated for several days or frozen for about 1 month. It will thicken as it cools and may need thinning with broth or water when reheating.)
  • Return the soup to the pan and reheat gently. Add the half-and-half. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Top each serving with pumpkin seeds and toasted bread crumbs.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe by Tasty image

This batch of creamy butternut-flavored soup is the perfect fall meal for you and your loved ones.

Provided by Chris Rosa

Categories     Sides

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 butternut squashes, peeled, seeded and cut into 2 in (5 cm) cubes
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 large white onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
1 cup dry white wine
8 cups vegetable broth
½ cup heavy cream, plus more for serving
½ cup walnuts, toasted
8 teaspoons chive oil, for serving
2 cups ice
8 cups water, divided
½ oz fresh chives
¾ cup neutral oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt until well coated. Spread the squash in a single layer on an unlined baking sheet.
  • Roast the squash for 60-70 minutes, until completely tender and just beginning to brown on the edges.
  • Once the squash has been roasting for 40 minutes, start the soup: In a large stock pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  • Add the garlic and sage and stir to combine. Sauté for another 8-10 minutes, until the onions are beginning to caramelize slightly. Add the white wine and cook for 2-4 minutes, until reduced by about half.
  • Add the squash to the pot, along with the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the squash is completely broken down.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Using an immersion blender, blend until the soup is completely smooth and creamy. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste.
  • Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top with the toasted walnuts, a drizzle of heavy cream, and a drizzle of chive oil.
  • To make the chive oil, combine the ice and 3 cups (720 ml) of water in a medium bowl. Set near the stovetop.
  • Add the remaining 3 cups (720 ml) of water to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the chives to the simmering water and blanch for 30 seconds, then strain. Transfer the strainer directly to the ice bath to halt the cooking process. Let the chives cool for 1 minute, then drain on paper towels.
  • Add the chives and oil to a liquid measuring cup or other tall, narrow container. Using an immersion blender, blend until the chives are completely broken down. Do not overblend, as the chives can turn brown.
  • Place a damp paper towel inside a strainer and set over a medium bowl. Pour the chive oil through the strainer to remove any remaining solids.
  • Use the chive oil as desired. It will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
  • Enjoy!
