ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH GOAT CHEESE
Tender and sweet roasted butternut squash with tangy goat cheese, aromatic thyme, little heat, and crunchy pumpkin seeds! Just bring the bread, my friends, because dinner is ready! Summers are still far from over in my part of the world..... but with yesterday's Caprese Focaccia Bread a.k.a Transition Recipe, I have decided to declare 'fall'. (finally!) :) Starting today with one of my favorite food of the season - 'Roasted Butternut Squash Soup'. Seriously, when Butternut squash is in season, I can't have enough of this soup! 'Roasting' is by-far the BEST way to make any squash extra special. It brings out natural sweetness and nuttiness of squash.... Plus also make'em very tender and extra delicious. Once roasted, squash is ready for any transformation- from creamy soup, pasta sauce to a flavorful salad..... options are endless. But today we are talking Roasted Squash Soup. For soups, other than roasting, I have few more tricks to bring out 'squash' flavor even better! Let's me share with you, how?!To make a best tasting butternut squash soup every-time, I take care of following:1. Cook squash properly (such as roasting) because proper cooking brings out sweetness of squash.2. Add little tang in soup to complement the sweetness. Such as lemon and/or goat cheese.3. Add aromatics and spices for flavor and little kick. Such as aroma of thyme and hint of pepper flakes. Not just Butternut squash, or any squash..... any creamy soup needs some textural contrast! So, always add some crunchy surprise to a creamy one-note soup. Like for this one, I added crunchy toasted Pepita Seeds (pumpkin seeds) and some fresh pomegranate seeds for burst of freshness in every bite.It feels perfect to snuggle with a warm bowl of comforting soup.... watching TV on a cold winter evening! Isn't it?However, I think the best time to enjoy 'spiced soups' is during changing season. I know, many of you will say, 'soups are for winter season only'. In my humble opinion, soups.... specially spiced and vitamin-loaded vegetable soups are very useful during 'changing weather'. Such soups provide warmth and abundance of Vitamin C to support immune health and makes you strong against changing weather conditions. No doubt, soups are good during winters. They are even better during changing season. (Especially during summer to fall and fall to winter.)Here are few of my favorite Butternut Squash and other soups which are mostly on my dinner table during this time of the year.1. French Lentils Soup2. Creamy Tomato Soup3. Kale and Zucchini Soup4. Yellow Lentils Soup5. Ginger Spiced Butternut Squash Soup6. Kale and Barley SoupMost of these soups are self-sufficient. For weekday dinner (meatless), you just need a side of bread or rice.Wish you a great weekend! -Savita
