MY SPICED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SWEET POTATO, CARROT AND ORANGE SOUP



My Spiced Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato, Carrot and Orange Soup image

This was inspired by my other butternut squash soup recipe (#402703). The orange flavoring is optional. I use pre-cut, cubed squash when I can find it or frozen squash. You can also use a small fresh butternut squash. (The prep time assumes you are using pre-cut or frozen squash.) I use almond milk in this recipe (I like Almond Breeze) instead of cream or half and half. You can save a little time by roughly chopping the onion and garlic, because the soup will be pureed later. I do chop the ginger rather finely because it is so fibrous, and I don't want lumps in the soup that didn't get pureed.

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 ounces peeled and cubed butternut squash (weighed after peeling)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut in 1/2 inch dice (I used one that weighed almost a pound before peeling)
3 small carrots, sliced
1 -2 tablespoon oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
4 cups chicken broth (I use organic low-sodium)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (or more to taste)
almond milk (I use Almond Breeze unsweetened original or unsweetened vanilla)
fresh ground pepper
salt
fresh orange juice (optional)

Steps:

  • If you are using a fresh butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Peel it and cut it into 1-inch chunks.
  • Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it softens, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger root and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • While the onions are cooking, peel and dice the sweet potato and carrots.
  • Add the cut vegetables and broth; bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook at a gentle boil until the squash is fork-tender, about 20 minutes (but this depends on the size of your squash cubes).
  • Puree the soup in several stages in a blender. For safety's sake, since the soup is hot, do not fill the jar more than about 1/4 full each time, and blend on a low speed, covering the lid with an oven mitt. The soup should be completely smooth and a little thicker than heavy cream.
  • Rinse your soup pot to remove any small chunks of food and strain it if you like (I do not strain).
  • Heat the soup through again and season to taste with cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and salt.
  • Add some almond milk, a little at a time, to give soup a creamier consistency. (Instead of almond milk or Almond Breeze, you could probably use soy or rice milk or half and half).
  • Just before serving, add about 2-3 teaspoons fresh orange juice (or to taste) to each bowl, if desired; stir to blend into soup.
  • This soup tastes fine when it has been reheated. The soup will thicken as it chills, so you may want to add extra spice right at the start, if you know you will be re-heating some later. You will need extra Almond Breeze to thin it out after it has been refrigerated. I have kept it in the fridge for as long as 4 days and it was fine.
  • You can sub pumpkin pie spice for the ground spices listed.
  • Because the veggies make the broth very flavorful, you can also use half chicken broth and half water (2 cups of each) with good results.

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups diced carrots
3 cups hubbard squash or 3 cups winter squash, skin and seeds removed
2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, grated
7 cups chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, cook the onions in olive oil until translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, and stir until fragrant, 1 minute or less.
  • Add the carrots, squash, gingerrot and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until vegetables are very tender.
  • Remove soup from heat and allow to cool to just warm.
  • Puree the soup in a food processor or blender. Pour soup back into pan.
  • Add the half and half and stir until hot but not boiling. Adjust consistency with a little broth if necessary.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the ripest and freshest vegetables: The quality of your soup will depend on the quality of your ingredients. Look for butternut squash and carrots that are firm and have a deep, rich color.
  • Roast the vegetables before blending: Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them whole or in chunks, but make sure they are tender before blending.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will give you a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
  • Add spices and seasonings to taste: The basic butternut squash and carrot soup recipe is delicious on its own, but you can add spices and seasonings to taste. Some popular additions include garlic, onion, ginger, cumin, and curry powder.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish can make your soup look more appealing. Some popular garnishes include chopped parsley, cilantro, or chives. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash and carrot soup is a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy these fall vegetables. It is a great soup to serve for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
