ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, GARLIC, AND APPLE SOUP



Roasted Butternut Squash, Garlic, and Apple Soup image

Butternut squash, sweet potato, carrot, and garlic roasted in large pieces and then added to onion, celery, apple, and vegetable broth. Immersion blender does the trick for thickening without adding fat. Use curry powder in place of cayenne if you prefer more savory flavors than spicy. Apple juice can also be used in place of cider, and chicken broth in place of vegetable.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND ROASTED APPLE SOUP



Butternut Squash and Roasted Apple Soup image

Provided by Sam Kass

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield About 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 butternut squashes, quartered, seeds removed
2 to 3 Granny Smith apples
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
3 cups apple cider or juice
2 cups chicken broth or water, more as needed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg, or to taste
Juice of 1 lemon, or to taste
Dried cranberries or dried cherries for garnish, optional
toasted almond slivers for garnish, optional
diced apples, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut each squash quarter in half and place in a large bowl. Quarter and core apples, and add to bowl. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Rub everything to coat well, and transfer to a large baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake until apples are soft in center, about 30 minutes. Transfer apples to a plate to cool, and return squash to oven to bake until soft, another 15 to 30 minutes. When apples and squash are cool enough to handle, scoop out flesh into a large bowl; discard skins. Working in batches, purée squash and apples in a food processor or blender. If necessary, add some apple cider to each batch to help purée.
  • Transfer purée to a 4- to 6-quart soup pot. Add remaining cider and enough chicken broth or water for desired consistency. Place over medium-low heat. Add cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice; as soup warms, flavors will emerge. Heat just until steaming, and adjust seasonings to taste. Ladle into warm bowls. If desired, garnish with dried cranberries or dried cherries, toasted almond slivers and diced apple.

NANCY'S BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND APPLE SOUP



Nancy's Butternut Squash and Apple Soup image

This soup is so easy to make and tastes so good. You can blend it smooth or leave it chunky. You can top with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt if you wish. I created this recipe after my nephew's food service class served a very similar version at their 'Big Night' dinner.

Yield 8 servings (about 8 to 9 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 slices bacon, cut crosswise into ½-inch pieces
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¾ pound boiling potatoes
2 medium Granny Smith apples (about ¾ pound total)
1 ½ pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into ½-inch pieces (3½ to 4 cups)
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken stock or broth
2 to 2½ cups water
Garnish:
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a 6-quart heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving 2 tablespoons fat in pot. (Add vegetable oil if your bacon is very lean and doesn't yield enough fat.)
  • Cook celery, carrot, and onion in fat in pot over low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add cinnamon and cook, uncovered, stirring, 1 minute.
  • While vegetables are cooking, peel potatoes and coarsely chop. Peel and core 1 apple and coarsely chop.
  • Stir squash, potato, chopped apple, stock, 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper into onion mixture, then simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Puree soup in 4 batches in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids), then heat in cleaned pot over medium low heat, stirring occasionally. (Add additional 1/2 cup water to thin, if necessary.)
  • While soup is heating, cut enough of remaining apple into thin matchsticks (about 1 1/2-inches long) to measure about 1/2 cup.
  • Serve soup topped with sour cream, bacon, and apple matchsticks.
  • Cooks' Notes: Soup can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered once cooled. Cooked bacon can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container-reheat in a 375°F oven in a small baking pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use sweet and tart apples for a balanced flavor. Good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Roast the butternut squash: Roasting brings out the squash's natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered, not boiled. Overcooking can make the soup mushy and bland.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for apple and butternut squash soup include sour cream, grated cheese, and croutons.

Conclusion:

Apple and butternut squash soup is a delicious and easy-to-make fall soup. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its sweet and savory flavor, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting soup, give this recipe a try.
