Winter Squash Soup with a Sweet Heat image

A delicious winter squash soup with a sweet heat taste. Brown sugar gives the sweetness and poblano and jalapeno peppers give the heat. This soup can be made with butternut, acorn, carnival, or delicata squash; it just needs to be a hard winter squash. This will get warmer from the peppers the longer it sits. If you like your soup a little thinner add water or additional chicken broth.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (4 pound) winter squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon butter
1 large sweet onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 large poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
32 ounces chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place squash, cut-side down, in a baking pan and add 1-inch of water. Cover pan with aluminum foil.

This soup is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup was too watery. I had to add more cornstarch to thicken it.

I added a can of black beans to this soup and it was delicious. It's a great way to add some extra protein and fiber.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the cayenne pepper. The soup was still delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of squash soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of the sweet potatoes and spices really makes this soup something special.
