Roasted butternut squash soup is a comforting and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed during the colder months. The addition of ginger to the cream adds a touch of warmth and complexity to the soup, making it a truly unique and satisfying meal. When choosing a butternut squash, look for one that is small to medium in size, as the smaller ones tend to have a sweeter flavor. Be sure to also select a squash that is firm and free of blemishes.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH CREAM SOUP WITH GINGER
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon
- Peel the apples and onions and cut them into eighths. I love this soft skin peeler from Zyliss - it's a $10 KilKenney Kitchen workhorse
- Place the squash flesh down on the baking sheet along with the apple and onion pieces. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. If you are using the cubed squash (like the kind you can find at Trader Joes), combine the squash cubes with the apples & onions and a little water on a sheet pan
- Roast the squash, apples and onions until the all the vegetables are browned and really tender when tested with a fork - about 50 minutes (about 40 minutes if you are using the squash cubes)
- Let the squash cool until you can handle it. It should look soft and mushy in the skin
- While the squash is cooling, get the ginger ready. You will find fresh whole ginger in the produce section of most grocery stores. If you can't find it, substitute a 1/2 tsp of ground ginger powder
- Peel the ginger - here's a KilKenney Kitchen tip - Use the edge of a teaspoon to peel the skin off the ginger - it's fast and easy. Store the whole piece of ginger in a plastic bag in the freezer and you'll always have ginger ready to go
- Use a microplane (another inexpensive KilKenney Kitchen workhorse) to grate the fresh or frozen ginger- it's a breeze to grate and smells fabulous! If you don't have a microplane, just chop the ginger very fine with a sharp knife
- Once the squash has cooled, scrape the flesh out with a spoon and put it in a blender
- Add the roasted apples and onions, grated ginger, (or ginger powder) salt and maple syrup (or honey or sugar) to the blender
- Add 3 cups of the stock to the blender and blend on high until pureed. Add the remaining stock a little at a time until you get a smooth soup-like consistency
- Add the half & half to the blender and blend to combine. (omit the half & half if you prefer a dairy free soup)
- Pour the soup into a large stock pot and warm over medium heat until hot. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. (Isn't this soup a gorgeous color?)
- Serve the soup plain or with a dollop of plain yogurt and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a sharp, sturdy knife, carefully cut off the stem of the butternut squash, then cut the squash in half vertically. Scoop out the seeds and either discard or save for roasting. Brush the inside of each half with the 2 teaspoons olive oil and place cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until a fork easily pierces the flesh, about 45 minutes. Remove squash halves from oven and set aside to cool a bit.
- Set a medium pot over low heat. When hot, add the olive oil and then the onion. Sweat the onion, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent but not golden, about 8 minutes. (To sweat onion, make sure your heat is low and you can barely hear a sizzle). Add 1 1/2 cups of the broth, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Peel the skins off of the cooked butternut squash and add cooked flesh to the pot. Using an immersion blender or working with a countertop blender in batches, puree the entire mixture.
- Return the puree to the pan (if you are using a countertop blender; if you used an immersion blender, you're already there!) Stir in the coconut milk. Bring back to a simmer. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. If you prefer your soup to be thinner, add the remaining broth.
- Remove from heat, ladle into bowls, and add garnishes if desired. Serve.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keeps for about 3 days.

CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH GINGER
I was intrigued by the addition of apple vinegar to "round out" the flavor profile of this soup. A couple tablespoons of decoratively swirled creme fraiche (or sour cream) & a sprinkling of toasted slivered almonds makes for an elegant presentation. Found in the Tribune's Food & Drink Weekly.

Steps:
- Peel the squash, using a sharp vegetable peeler. Cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut in 1-inch chunks.
- Heat the butter 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. Add the diced squash, water and salt and bring to a simmer. Cook at a low simmer until the squash is tender enough to smash with a spoon, about 30 minutes.
- Puree the soup, either using an immersion blender or grinding it in several stages in a regular blender. The soup should be completely smooth and a little thicker than heavy cream. Ladle the soup through a strainer into a clean soup pot, discarding any bits of squash or ginger left behind.
- Heat the soup through once more and season to taste, adding salt first and then the vinegar. Add the vinegar one-half teaspoons at a time; it will take a little more than 1 tablespoons.
- To serve, stir the crème fraîche to loosen the texture. Ladle the soup into wide bowls and spoon 1 to 2 Tbsps. of crème fraîche in a decorative pattern onto each. Scatter a few toasted slivered almonds over the soup and serve immediately.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND GINGER SHEET PAN SOUP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place the butternut squash, baby carrots, garlic and onion in a large mixing bowl. Add the oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat.

- Place half of the cooked vegetables in a blender using tongs along with 2 cups chicken broth and half the ginger. Blitz until smooth and transfer to a large soup pot. Repeat with the remaining vegetables, broth and ginger.
- To serve immediately, place the pot over medium heat. Warm the soup through and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To freeze, divide soup evenly among four 16-ounce mason jars. Leave at least 1 inch of space at the top of each jar to prevent cracking. Screw on lids and freeze.

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
- Add butternut squash, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
- Add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
- Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until squash is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
- Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Tips:
- For a smoother soup, blend the soup in a high-powered blender or food processor until velvety smooth.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the soup with a potato masher until smooth.
- Be careful not to overcook the butternut squash, as it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- If you want a thicker soup, add less broth or puree some of the soup and stir it back in.
- For a thinner soup, add more broth or water.
- Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
- Garnish the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil.
