Categories     Appetizer     Lunch     Soup

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups butternut squash (, cubed (550g))
2 tablespoons avocado oil ((or oil of choice))
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
¾ cup red onion (, finely diced (90g))
¾ cup red bell pepper (, finely diced (100g))
½ cup corn ((I use frozen))
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Herbamare seasoning (*)
½ teaspoon dry oregano
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼-½ cup cooking sherry ((or dry white wine))
3 cups vegetable broth ((low or no sodium))
2 ¼ cups black beans (, drained and rinsed (19 oz/ 540 mL can))
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • Remove the seeds from your squash, cut off the peel, then cut into small cubes.
  • Finely chop the onion and bell pepper.
  • Mince your garlic.
  • Drain and rinse a can of black beans (or cook from dry).
  • Warm avocado oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Then add chopped bell pepper and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Next, add the spices.
  • Toss to coat the spices evenly around your vegetables.
  • Add the cooking sherry/ wine and cook until it's reduced by (at least) half. This takes about 3-4 minutes, or longer if you use more. Scrape around the bottom of your pot to lift any spices/ flavor that may have stuck.
  • Add the remaining ingredients.
  • Cook until the squash is soft, about 10 minutes. I recommend adding a lid to the pot for the first 10 minutes, then removing it for the last 10 minutes (keep lid on if you like a thinner soup).
  • You can speed the cooking process by turning up the heat to medium-high. I prefer a slightly longer cooking time to give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Decide if you want to serve the soup as-is, partially blended or fully blended (it's a very thick soup when fully blended).
  • Use an immersion blender, regular blender or food processor to blend the soup.
  • For a partially blended soup, blend anywhere from ¼ to ¾ of the soup (recipe photos show about ½ the soup blended).
  • Serve the soup hot and garnish with any of your favorite toppings like cilantro, vegan sour cream, avocado, tortilla chips, pepitas, sprinkle of smoked paprika, etc.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH BLACK BEAN SOUP



Roasted Butternut Squash Black Bean Soup image

Fall soup gone hearty! Or is it hearty black bean soup gone autumn? Either way, this mash-up of two favorite is a warming, satiating affair.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 23

6 cups cubed butternut squash (peeled and seeded, 3/4-inch dice (about 1/2 a large squash))
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika (or plain paprika)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (diced small (about 2 cups))
3 medium cloves garlic (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
4 cups 32 ounces low-sodium vegetable broth
3 15-ounce cans cooked black beans, drained, divided (about 4 1/2 cups total)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Baked corn tortilla strips*
Sour cream or cashew sour cream
Cilantro
Roasted & salted pepitas
More roasted butternut squash
A sprinkle of paprika

Steps:

  • First, get the butternut squash in the oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add butternut squash to a large bowl and toss with olive oil. Sprinkle with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper and toss again until well-coated. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet - I like to line mine with parchment paper for easier clean-up. Bake, stirring once or twice, until tender and some sides are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  • While the squash roasts, start the soup. Set a medium soup pot over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil. When hot, add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and just beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring constantly, for one minute.
  • Add the vegetable broth and 2 cans (3 cups) of the drained black beans. Stir well and remove from heat.
  • When the squash is cooked, add half the squash to the soup. Working in batches with a blender or using an immersion blender, puree the soup. Return the soup to the stovetop and add the remaining can (1 1/2 cups) beans and all but 1/2 cup of the remaining butternut squash. Stir and cook over medium low until hot.
  • Add red wine vinegar and stir to combine. Taste and add more salt, pepper, and/or cayenne if desired.
  • Serve with assorted toppings and reserved roasted butternut squash.

SPICY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH BLACK BEANS, RED BELL PEPPER, A



Spicy Butternut Squash Soup With Black Beans, Red Bell Pepper, A image

Recipe from Kalyn Denny's blog, Kalyn's Kitchen, adapted by her from a recipe in Bon Appetit. Her blog centers on healthful, low-sugar recipes suitable for the South Beach Diet, but her recipes are great for anyone. My husband, not a huge fan of winter squashes, really enjoys this filling soup. We add a squeeze of lime juice at the table. I use packaged butternut squash chunks from Sam's and roast them about half an hour until soft and slightly caramelized. I also use strong homemade chicken or turkey stock instead of vegetable broth and 2 cups of cooked black beans instead of the canned ones.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large butternut squash (about 1.5 lbs.)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups finely chopped onions
2 cups finely chopped celery
6 garlic cloves, finely minced (about 1 T minced garlic)
6 cups vegetable stock (or slightly more, if you'd like a thinner soup) or 6 cups canned vegetable broth (or slightly more, if you'd like a thinner soup)
2 teaspoons ground cumin (or more)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped small
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (plus more to garnish soup if desired)
1 -2 tablespoon Tabasco jalapeno sauce (or other jalapeno hot sauce of your choice)
low-fat sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (to garnish)
lime wedge (optional)
tortilla chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven or toasted oven to 400F/200°C Cut butternut squash in half and use a sharp spoon to scoop out seeds. Place squash on a baking sheet and season with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Roast squash until it is soft enough to pierce easily with a fork, and starting to slightly brown, about 50-60 minutes. Let squash cool enough to handle.
  • While squash is roasting, chop onion and celery and mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in large non-stick soup pot and saute onions and celery until they're soft, about 7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 2-3 minutes more. Add 2 cups of vegetable broth and simmer the mixture about 10 minutes.
  • As soon as the squash has cooled enough to handle, scrape the flesh away with the skin and mix it with the other 4 cups of broth and the ground cumin. Add this mixture to the soup pot and simmer about 20 minutes; then use an immersion blender to puree the soup.
  • While the soup simmers, rinse the black beans well with cold water and let them drain in a colander. Chop the cilantro and red bell pepper. After you're pureed the soup add the beans, red bell pepper, and cilantro and simmer about 15-20 minutes more, adding a little more stock if you'd like a thinner soup. Stir in the Green Tabasco Sauce to taste and serve hot, garnished with low-fat sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, lime wedges, and tortilla chips if desired.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SOUP



Butternut Squash and Roasted Red Pepper Soup image

This soup is a family favorite that is a variation on a soup I had at a church potluck. We'd had a bunch of butternut and acorn squash plus some mystery hybrid squash come up in our compost pile and soup seemed the perfect way to use them up. You can use any combination of winter squash in this. I usually cut the squash in half and microwave it cut side down in some water for about 2 minutes on high to make it easier to peel and cube. Cooking time includes time to broil the peppers.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for a butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the squash: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash whole or in halves. If you are roasting the squash whole, be sure to pierce the skin with a fork to prevent it from bursting.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water. If you are using water, be sure to add some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered until the vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the soup will make it bland and watery.
  • Garnish the soup: Before serving, garnish the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of chopped cilantro, or a drizzle of olive oil.
