Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 ½ cups chopped carrots
1 cup chopped leeks, white part only
1 cup chopped onions
1 pound butternut squash, cubed
10 cups water
½ loaf Italian bread, sliced
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 apple, peeled and cubed
3 teaspoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large stockpot over medium heat. Add carrots, leeks, and onions. Cook and stir until softened and no longer crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Add squash; saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cover.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Gently fry bread until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bread to the stockpot; stir in allspice and ginger. Cook, covered, until squash has softened, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add apple and brown sugar. Fry until apples are well browned and start to form a crispy crust, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Puree the contents of the stockpot using an immersion blender until smooth and free of chunks. Garnish soup with the caramelized apples.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but this soup was really good! The leeks and spices really balanced out the flavor of the squash. I would definitely make this soup again.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
