Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup image

Butternut squash has sweet, fine-textured flesh that makes a delicious puree. And unlike many varieties of squash, its skin is thin enough to peel without much trouble. Try it in our velvety version of the classic hearty soup.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 orange
3 thin slices peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
10 whole black peppercorns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Spanish onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Pinch of cayenne pepper
6 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 small (about 1 3/4 pounds each) butternut squash, peeled, halved and seeded, and flesh cut into 1-inch pieces
Orange Spiced Cashews, for garnish

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from orange in long strips; reserve flesh for another use. Make a bouquet garni by wrapping zest, ginger, coriander, and peppercorns in a piece of cheesecloth; tie kitchen twine around top of bundle.
  • In a medium stockpot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cayenne; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and starts to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add bouquet garni; cook 2 minutes more. Add stock; bring to a boil.
  • Add sweet potato and squash to pot; return to a gentle simmer, and partially cover. Cook until vegetables are just beginning to fall apart, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly.
  • In a blender, puree soup in batches, being careful not to fill more than halfway. Pour soup into a clean pot; cook over medium heat until just heated through. Serve garnished with nuts, if desired.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. It's so convenient to be able to throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and have a delicious meal ready when I get home from work.

I'm not usually a fan of butternut squash soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The sweetness of the butternut squash and sweet potatoes pairs perfectly with the savory spices.
