Sherry and Butternut Squash Soup image

I was trying to capture the flavor of the Fresh Choice Fall Harvest Butternut Squash Soup. I started from scratch, so I'm claiming this recipe as my own.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lbs butternut squash, cubed
3 stalks celery
1 1/4 cups cooking sherry
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon onion powder
garlic salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In one pan, stir fry the celery in a small portion of olive oil. When softened, add a quarter cup of sherry and cover immediately. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth and continue to simmer.
  • In a separate large saucepan, stir fry the squash on medium heat until bright orange.
  • Pour in remaining sherry and cover immediately. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add in remaining chicken broth and add in bouillon. Add enough water so that the squash is completely covered, about 2 cups. Let cook until completely tender (you can test with a fork; if it goes completely through without resistance, it's done).
  • Combine butternut mixture and celery mixture into a large blender and blend until completely smooth.
  • Pour back into the large saucepan. Add butter, half and half, onion powder and garlic salt. When the butter is done melting in, you're done.
  • Garnish with cheddar and sour cream, if desired.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked the squash.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add more liquid next time.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but this soup was surprisingly good. The sherry really elevates the flavor.

I found this soup to be very bland. It needed more seasoning.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sherry next time.

This soup was a hit at my dinner party! The sherry adds a delicious depth of flavor, and the butternut squash is creamy and comforting. I served it with a side of crusty bread and everyone went back for seconds.
