Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Spanish onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 leeks, white part only, coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, sliced thin
1 1/2 quarts vegetable or chicken stock
1/4 pound Parmesan piece or rinds
2 butternut squashes, peeled and cubed
3 leaves fresh sage, chopped
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, leeks and garlic and cook them until they are soft.
  • Add the vegetable or chicken stock, Parmesan pieces or rinds and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Add the butternut squash, sage, bay leaf, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne. Cook until the squash is tender (about 10 to 15 minutes).
  • Remove the bay leaf and the cheese and puree one quarter of the soup in a food processor and return it to the stock pot (the cheese -- not the rind -- can be crumbled or grated as a garnish for the soup). Heat through and correct seasoning. Garnish the soup with scallions and serve. Pass the freshly grated Parmesan separately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. Maybe I didn't use enough salt or pepper?

This soup is the perfect comfort food. It's so warm and inviting, and the flavors are just perfect. I love to serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use frozen butternut squash, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

I'm a vegetarian and I love this soup. It's so hearty and filling, and the flavors are amazing. I often make a big batch and freeze it for later.
