BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND APPLE SOUP



Butternut Squash and Apple Soup image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sliced leeks, white parts only
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 cups peeled and roughly diced butternut squash
3 cups peeled and roughly diced apples
2 teaspoons Toasted Spice Rub, recipe follows
6 1/2 cups chicken stock or 2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth mixed with 3 cups water
Sea salt, preferably gray salt
1 cup chopped Spiced Candied Walnuts, recipe follows, optional
1/4 cup fennel seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup pure California chili powder (about 1-ounce)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Peanut or canola oil
4 cups walnut halves
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, and cook until it turns nut brown. Add the leeks and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and saute briefly to release its fragrance.
  • Add the squash and apples, raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Toasted Spice Rub and cook briefly to toast it, about 1 minute.
  • Add the stock or broth-water mixture, bring to a simmer, and partially cover. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the squash and apples are tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Transfer in batches to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Return to the pot, reheat to serving temperature, and season with salt.
  • Divide the soup among warmed bowls and garnish each portion with some of the walnuts, if using. Serve immediately.
  • In a small heavy pan over medium heat, combine the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns. 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 in 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.
  • Yield: about 1 cup
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat about 1-inch of oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add walnuts and blanch for 30 seconds. Drain and transfer nuts to a medium bowl. While nuts are still hot and slightly wet, add confectioners' sugar and toss to coat nuts. Stir and toss until all the sugar has melted into the nuts; if bits of unmelted sugar remain on the nuts, they will not fry properly.
  • Stir the nuts again before frying. Using a large slotted spoon, transfer a few nuts to the hot oil, allowing the foam to subside before adding another spoonful. (Otherwise, the oil could foam over and burn you.) Fry in small batches until the nuts are medium brown, about 45 seconds per batch; be careful not to overcook. Scatter on an unlined baking sheet to cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, stir together cayenne, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and the pepper.
  • While the nuts are still warm, transfer them to a bowl and sprinkle evenly with about half of the spice mix. Toss well to distribute the spices and then taste a nut. Add more spice mix, to taste, and toss well after each addition. When cool, pack in an airtight jar. They will keep at room temperature for at least 2 weeks.
  • Yield: 4 cups

5-INGREDIENT APPLE-BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



5-Ingredient Apple-Butternut Squash Soup image

Although it has very few ingredients, this soup is intensely flavorful because the squash is browned before it's simmered. Simmering it in coconut milk instead of stock makes it extra rich and creamy. Don't skimp on the drizzle of olive oil at the end; it's there not only for presentation, but also to balance the flavor.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
One 2- to 3-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt
6 cups coconut milk
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped, plus apple slices, for serving

Steps:

  • Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a Dutch oven or large pot and heat over medium-high heat. Add half the squash and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bottom of the pot and some of the squash pieces are browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the squash to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and uncooked squash to the pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and deglazing the brown bits on the bottom of the pot with a splash of water and a wooden spoon if it looks like it's going to burn, about 4 minutes. Add the rest of the cooked squash back to the pot.
  • Add the coconut milk and apples to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the squash is quite tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth, or transfer the squash and apple chunks with a slotted spoon to a blender to puree, then return the blended mixture to the pot and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
  • Serve the soup topped with apple slices and big drizzles of olive oil.

SPICED SQUASH AND APPLE SOUP



Spiced Squash and Apple Soup image

In preparing for the fall/winter holidays I came across this soup. I was looking for something that could be made ahead and served for a family get-together. Since it has no cream, this recipe looks like it would reheat easily. The original recipe is by Joyce Goldstein and the ingredients were doubled for a large gathering.

Provided by Acerast

Categories     Apple

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion (about 2 cups)
1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
5 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced (2 whole squash)
6 cups chicken stock
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 granny smith apple, thinly sliced for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and olive oil in a soup pot over moderate heat.
  • Add the diced onions and apples and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the spices, cook for one minute.
  • Add the squash and chicken stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, until the squash is very tender, about 20-30 minutes.
  • In a blender or food processor, puree the vegetables in batches with a little bit of the stock.
  • Transfer puree mixture into a large bowl.
  • Stir in enough of the remaining stock to make a medium-thick soup.
  • Reserve any leftover stock if not serving right away, as the soup may thicken on standing. This is rich broth so if you have any left just add it to your favorite homemade soup or freeze for another use.
  • Season with salt and pepper and adjust the spices.
  • This soup may be made a day ahead, refrigerated uncovered until cold and then covered to store.
  • To serve, in a large pot heat the soup almost to scalding.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with thin slices of apple.
