Y'all, this is so good. With a hint of spice and Creole flavor, the butternut squash adds a little sweet to the turnip greens balancing the bitter and sweet. The andouille smoked sausage adds both warmth and flavor to the dish.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND TURNIP SOUP



Butternut Squash and Turnip Soup image

This is an original recipe, created from the need to do something with a squash and some turnips before they expired. It makes quite a few servings, so if desired, it can be halved, and a smaller squash (i.e. acorn squash) can be used.

BUTTERNUT AND TURNIP SOUP



Butternut and Turnip Soup image

Okay, before you turn up your nose, just hear me out :) Butternut soup always tastes a little too sweet for me, so today I tried adding a turnip. It was the perfect complement, now the taste is just right. For me at least!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 -2 carrot, sliced fine
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 turnip, diced
1 1/2 sodium-free chicken bouillon
4 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (unflavored) or 2 cups milk
1 -2 teaspoon coriander
1 -2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter over medium heat, add onion and carrots and saute until soft.
  • Add garlic and saute a few more minutes.
  • Add a bit salt at each stage, then a little more if needed at the end. I use a total of 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt for the entire recipe.
  • Add squash, turnip and bouillon, then just enough water to barely cover the veggies.
  • Cover and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 minutes or until squash is tender.
  • Select a pan to make the roux (white sauce). I use a large, wide pan, large enough to hold the roux plus the vegetable soup.
  • Make the roux by sauteeing flour in butter til golden, then slowly stir in the milk or almond milk. Heat until thickened, stirring frequently, then turn off heat.
  • Puree the vegetable soup in blender until smooth, then stir it into the thickened roux.
  • Add the spices, salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • If you can't find turnip greens, you can use baby spinach or kale instead.
