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, GARLIC, AND APPLE SOUP



Roasted Butternut Squash, Garlic, and Apple Soup image

Butternut squash, sweet potato, carrot, and garlic roasted in large pieces and then added to onion, celery, apple, and vegetable broth. Immersion blender does the trick for thickening without adding fat. Use curry powder in place of cayenne if you prefer more savory flavors than spicy. Apple juice can also be used in place of cider, and chicken broth in place of vegetable.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP AND CURRY CONDIMENTS



Roasted Butternut Squash Soup and Curry Condiments image

Provided by Ina Garten

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.

CHEF JOHN'S ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Chef John's Roasted Butternut Squash Soup image

My favorite fall soup of all time, roasted butternut squash soup is cheap, easy, nutrition, and absolutely delicious. If you're feeling like something a bit more substantial, try this topped with a handful of crispy bacon or diced ham.

Provided by Chef John

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

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 chopped onion
1 cup sliced carrots
6 whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste - divided
1 (3 1/2) pound butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 large sage leaves
6 cups chicken broth, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup creme fraiche
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Drizzle olive oil into large roasting pan. Add onion, carrots, garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt. Toss until coated in oil. Place squash halves flesh side up on the chopped vegetables. Sprinkle squash with additional salt.
  • Roast in preheated oven until squash is tender and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Allow vegetables to cool a bit.
  • Melt butter over medium heat. Butter will foam, and start to turn a golden brown. Reduce heat to low. When butter turns from golden to a light, nutty brown, remove pan from heat and immediately add sage leaves. Stir to infuse the butter with sage.
  • Scoop out squash flesh and place in roasting pan with roasted chopped vegetables. Transfer mixture into large stock pot. Stir in chicken broth, brown sage butter, and maple syrup. Place pot over high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low; slowly simmer to blend flavors, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Blend until very smooth with an immersion blender, 3 or 4 minutes. Pass mixture through a strainer to remove any remaining fibrous bits.
  • If soup seems too thick, add a few tablespoons of water or chicken broth. Stir in apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt (or to taste), and cayenne pepper. Garnish servings of soup with a dollop of creme fraiche and chopped chives.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH APPLES AND BACON



Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Apples and Bacon image

I created this soup on Christmas Eve and it was a huge hit. The roasted squash caramelizes giving the soup that extra depth of flavor. This soup has a very creamy consistency but is completely dairy-free except for the optional garnish of sour cream (I did this on purpose due to a guest who is allergic to dairy). It is also extremely healthy. Don't shy away from the curry powder; it gives the soup that extra flavor. Feel free to play around with the amount of carrot, onion or celery, garlic to your taste. This soup can be made the day before and reheated.

Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (3 pound) butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 strips bacon, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
6 stalks celery, chopped
6 carrots, chopped
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored, and cubed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup apple cider
1 ½ quarts chicken stock
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ cups sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place squash in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil; mix to coat; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread squash into a single layer on a baking pan. Roast the squash in the preheated oven, turning once, until fork-tender and caramelized; 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Place the bacon in a Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon slices to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the drippings in the pan.
  • Place the onion, celery, carrot, bay leaf, curry powder, thyme, and salt and pepper in the Dutch oven; cook in reserved bacon drippings until the carrots and celery are soft. Mix in the apples and cooked squash and cook another 5 minutes. Stir the garlic into the mixture and cook another 1 minute. Pour the apple cider over the mixture; reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer; allow to reduce to about half its original volume. Stir in the chicken stock; simmer over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes.
  • Puree the soup in small batches in a blender, or use an immersion blender. If using a blender, don't fill the blender more than half-way. Always remove the center lid piece of a stand blender when blending hot liquids so the steam can escape. Cover the hole with a dish towel while blending. Stir the nutmeg into the soup. Garnish each bowl with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and some of the bacon pieces to serve.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Roasted Butternut Squash Soup image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup (1/4-inch) diced onion
1/4 cup (1/4-inch) diced celery
1/4 cup (1/4-inch) diced carrot
1 cinnamon stick
Sea salt, preferably gray salt
Freshly ground black pepper
About 4 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon ground toasted coriander, optional
1 1/2 cups Roasted Winter Squash, recipe follows
1/2 cup half-and-half, optional
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese, optional
2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds, optional
About 3 pounds butternut squash (preferably 1 large squash)
Gray salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup dark unsulfured molasses
2 teaspoons Toasted Spice Rub, recipe follows
1/4 cup fennel seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/4 cup (1 ounce) pure California chili powder
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the soup:
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and cinnamon stick and saute until soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the chicken stock and the coriander, if using, and bring to a boil. Simmer for several minutes. Stir in the squash until smooth, then simmer gently to let the flavors meld, about 10 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick.
  • Puree the soup 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 stock or water when reheating.)
  • Return the soup to the pan and reheat gently. Add the half-and-half, if using. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Keep warm until service.
  • To serve:
  • Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Garnish evenly, with the cheese and pumpkin seeds, if desired.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler. Halve lengthwise, discard the seeds, then cut into 1-inch dice. Place in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter ceases to foam and has turned a light brown, pull the pan off the heat and immediately add the sage, sugar, vinegar (stand back so as not to get splattered), molasses and toasted spice rub. Mix well and let simmer over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  • Pour the vinegar mixture over the squash and toss well, then transfer to a heavy rimmed baking sheet or baking dish large enough to hold the squash in a single layer. Place in the oven and roast, tossing at least once, until very tender and caramelized, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle but still warm, so the liquids are runny.
  • Working in batches, if necessary, transfer the warm squash and all the cooking liquids to a food processor and process until smooth. Use immediately, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Serving suggestions: Serve the puree on its own as a side dish for roast chicken, turkey, or pork; stir into polenta just before the end of cooking; use as a stuffing for ravioli; make into a soup; or use to flavor pastina. Or omit the sage, season with ground cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg to taste, and use as a substitute for canned pumpkin in your favorite pumpkin pie recipe.
  • Toast the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a small, heavy pan over medium heat. When the fennel turns light brown, work quickly. Turn on the exhaust fan, add the red pepper flakes, and toss, toss, toss, always under the fan. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool.
  • Put mixture into a blender with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground. If you have a small spice mill or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients. Keep the spice mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield About 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 butternut squashes, quartered, seeds removed
2 to 3 Granny Smith apples
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
3 cups apple cider or juice
2 cups chicken broth or water, more as needed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg, or to taste
Juice of 1 lemon, or to taste
Dried cranberries or dried cherries for garnish, optional
toasted almond slivers for garnish, optional
diced apples, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut each squash quarter in half and place in a large bowl. Quarter and core apples, and add to bowl. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Rub everything to coat well, and transfer to a large baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake until apples are soft in center, about 30 minutes. Transfer apples to a plate to cool, and return squash to oven to bake until soft, another 15 to 30 minutes. When apples and squash are cool enough to handle, scoop out flesh into a large bowl; discard skins. Working in batches, purée squash and apples in a food processor or blender.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP RECIPE BY TASTY



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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For the best flavor, choose a squash that is ripe and has a deep color.
  • Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so use a good quality broth that is flavorful and has a rich taste.
  • Add aromatics: Aromatics such as onions, garlic, and celery add depth of flavor to the soup.
  • Season to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or chives add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

Roasted squash soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a great way to use up leftover squash, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, roasted squash soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
