Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ tablespoons butter
½ onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic
2 sprigs fresh thyme
½ butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups chicken stock
½ cube chicken bouillon
1 pinch ground cumin
1 pinch ground allspice
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook the onion, garlic, and thyme in the hot butter until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the bouillon into the soup; season with cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper; remove from heat.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a kitchen towel and carefully start the blender using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a serving bowl. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup in the pot.

BEST EVER PUMPKIN OR BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Best Ever Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Soup image

I made this for a dinner party recently and served with French bread it went down very well. I'm not the greatest fan of soups, but as winter is setting in, I find that this is fantastic to have on hand. I make a large amount up on the weekend and take out what I need in the morning so that it has time to defrost before I get home. Once home, 10 minutes on the stove and I have a filling and healthy or filling and luxurious dinner, or starter to stave off the hunger whilst I cook the mains. Time and quantities are relative estimates as I tend to use what I have, and just make sure that the water doesn't evaporate from the pot. It usually takes about an hour and freezes exceptionally well. Add cream for extra richness if you like, but it is not necessary.

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 fresh pumpkin, seeded and diced or 4 butternut squash, peeled seeded and diced
4 potatoes, peeled
1 onion, sliced
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
2 teaspoons dried oregano
water, to cover
120 ml single cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Saute the sliced onion and crushed garlic in a little olive oil.
  • Add the pumpkin or butternut squash and peeled potatoes to the pot and immediately add enough water to cover everything.
  • Add the oregano and cover the pot with a lid that allows steam to escape.
  • Boil until the pumpkin/butternut squash and potatoes are soft.
  • Either mash the vegetables for a chunky soup or blend for a smooth soup.
  • At this point, the soup can be refrigerated for a few days or frozen for a few months or served immediately.
  • When ready to serve, warm up the soup and mix in the cream saving a little to swirl on each plate. The cream is a delicious extra, but for a lighter, healthier soup I leave out the cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash with bruises or soft spots.
  • Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash whole or in cubes, but be sure to pierce the skin with a fork before roasting to prevent it from bursting.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your soup. Use a homemade broth if you have it, or choose a store-bought broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're cooking the soup, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the soup from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to scorch.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a creamy finish.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. Whether you're looking for a hearty meal to warm you up on a cold day or a light and flavorful lunch, this soup is sure to please. With its sweet and nutty flavor, butternut squash soup is a great way to enjoy this healthy and delicious vegetable.
