Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 celery rib, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fine-quality extra-virgin olive oil (preferably Tuscan) plus additional for drizzling
1 lb winter squash such as butternut, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 lb boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 whole fresh peperoncino (small hot Italian green pepper) or 3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
3 1/2 cups boiling water plus additional for thinning
1 crisp amaretto (Italian almond macaroon), finely crushed (2 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Cook celery, carrot, and onion in 2 tablespoons oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add squash, potatoes, peperoncino, and sea salt. Stir in 3 1/2 cups boiling water and simmer, covered, until vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove and discard peperoncino (if using pepper flakes, leave in soup). Purée soup in batches in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids), adding more water to thin to desired consistency.
  • Serve soup drizzled with additional oil and sprinkled with amaretto crumbs.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used butternut squash, and it was the perfect sweetness for the soup. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little kick. Will definitely make again!

I'm not a huge fan of squash, but this soup was surprisingly good. The creamless base was light and flavorful, and the squash was roasted to perfection. I will definitely be making this soup again.
