Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth

  • Add the olive oil to a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno and cook for 1 more minute. Add the broth, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and simmer until the squash is soft, about 15 minutes. Puree using an immersion blender.
  • To serve immediately: Serve up in bowls and top with about 1 tablespoon each of the crema, cotija, cilantro and pomegranate seeds.
  • If freezing, let cool completely, then pour into 3 to 4 quart bags and freeze. To serve: thaw a bag of the soup in the refrigerator, then heat in a pan or in the microwave. Top with the crema, cotija, cilantro and pomegranate seeds.

I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but I really enjoyed this soup. The Tex-Mex flavors really made it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. It's also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The soup was bland and lacked flavor. I think I'll stick to my old butternut squash soup recipe.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I like to add a little extra spice to mine, but that's just personal preference.

This soup was a hit with my family! The butternut squash was perfectly sweet and creamy, and the Tex-Mex flavors were spot-on. I will definitely be making this again.
