Time 1h

Yield 3 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 large)
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
5 pounds butternut squash (2 large)
1 1/2 pounds sweet apples, such as McIntosh (4 apples)

  • Peel the squash, cut in half, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into chunks. Peel, quarter, and core the apples. Cut into chunks.

5-INGREDIENT APPLE-BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



5-Ingredient Apple-Butternut Squash Soup image

Although it has very few ingredients, this soup is intensely flavorful because the squash is browned before it's simmered. Simmering it in coconut milk instead of stock makes it extra rich and creamy. Don't skimp on the drizzle of olive oil at the end; it's there not only for presentation, but also to balance the flavor.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
One 2- to 3-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt
6 cups coconut milk
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped, plus apple slices, for serving

Steps:

  • Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a Dutch oven or large pot and heat over medium-high heat. Add half the squash and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bottom of the pot and some of the squash pieces are browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the squash to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and uncooked squash to the pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and deglazing the brown bits on the bottom of the pot with a splash of water and a wooden spoon if it looks like it's going to burn, about 4 minutes. Add the rest of the cooked squash back to the pot.
  • Add the coconut milk and apples to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the squash is quite tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth, or transfer the squash and apple chunks with a slotted spoon to a blender to puree, then return the blended mixture to the pot and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
  • Serve the soup topped with apple slices and big drizzles of olive oil.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND APPLE SOUP



Butternut Squash and Apple Soup image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sliced leeks, white parts only
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 cups peeled and roughly diced butternut squash
3 cups peeled and roughly diced apples
2 teaspoons Toasted Spice Rub, recipe follows
6 1/2 cups chicken stock or 2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth mixed with 3 cups water
Sea salt, preferably gray salt
1 cup chopped Spiced Candied Walnuts, recipe follows, optional
1/4 cup fennel seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup pure California chili powder (about 1-ounce)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Peanut or canola oil
4 cups walnut halves
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, and cook until it turns nut brown. Add the leeks and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and saute briefly to release its fragrance.
  • Add the squash and apples, raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Toasted Spice Rub and cook briefly to toast it, about 1 minute.
  • Add the stock or broth-water mixture, bring to a simmer, and partially cover. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the squash and apples are tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Transfer in batches to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Return to the pot, reheat to serving temperature, and season with salt.
  • Divide the soup among warmed bowls and garnish each portion with some of the walnuts, if using. Serve immediately.
  • In a small heavy pan over medium heat, combine the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns. When the fennel turns light brown, work quickly. Turn on the exhaust fan, add the red pepper flakes, and toss, toss, toss, always under the fan. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool. Put in a blender with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground. If you have a small spice mill or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients.
  • Yield: about 1 cup
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat about 1-inch of oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add walnuts and blanch for 30 seconds. Drain and transfer nuts to a medium bowl. While nuts are still hot and slightly wet, add confectioners' sugar and toss to coat nuts. Stir and toss until all the sugar has melted into the nuts; if bits of unmelted sugar remain on the nuts, they will not fry properly.
  • Stir the nuts again before frying. Using a large slotted spoon, transfer a few nuts to the hot oil, allowing the foam to subside before adding another spoonful. (Otherwise, the oil could foam over and burn you.) Fry in small batches until the nuts are medium brown, about 45 seconds per batch; be careful not to overcook. Scatter on an unlined baking sheet to cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, stir together cayenne, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and the pepper.
  • While the nuts are still warm, transfer them to a bowl and sprinkle evenly with about half of the spice mix. Toss well to distribute the spices and then taste a nut. Add more spice mix, to taste, and toss well after each addition. When cool, pack in an airtight jar. They will keep at room temperature for at least 2 weeks.
  • Yield: 4 cups

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 1/4 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 1/4 cups (or more) vegetable broth
1 Gala apple, peeled, cored, diced
1/2 cup apple juice
Light sour cream
Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and nutmeg; sauté until onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add squash, 4 1/4 cups broth, apple, and apple juice. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered until squash and apple are tender, about 30 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return soup to pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Bring soup to simmer, thinning with more broth if desired. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with sour cream and chives.

Tips:

  • For a smoother soup, blend until completely smooth. For a chunkier soup, blend until desired consistency is achieved.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender or food processor. Just be careful not to overfill the blender or food processor, or the soup could splatter.
  • If the soup is too thick, add a little more broth or water. If the soup is too thin, simmer for a few minutes longer.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through.
  • To freeze the soup, let it cool completely and then pour it into freezer-safe bags or containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator or place it in a pot over low heat until warmed through.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of apples and blue cheese. Some good options include Honeycrisp apples, Granny Smith apples, and Roquefort blue cheese.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or croutons for a complete meal.
