Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium yellow onions, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, very roughly chopped
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh ginger, from a 2-inch knob
2½ lb pre-cut butternut squash (or one 3-lb butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed)
3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 cups chicken broth, best quality such as Swanson
1½ tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
2 - 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 (14-oz) can unsweetened coconut milk (preferably not low fat)
Juice of half a lime, plus more limes for serving
¼ teaspoon salt
Sriracha sauce, for drizzling
4 scallions, thinly sliced
¾ cup salted peanuts, roughly chopped
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Do not brown; reduce heat if necessary.
  • Add the squash, carrots, broth, fish sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the curry paste. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Using a hand-held immersion blender, purée the soup until silky smooth. (Alternatively, cool the soup slightly, then purée in a blender in batches, making sure to leave the hole in the lid open to allow the steam to escape.) Stir in the coconut milk, lime juice, and salt (if the coconut milk is solidified, use the immersion blender to mix it in). Bring to a simmer, then taste and adjust the seasonings, adding the remaining tablespoon of curry paste if more heat is desired. Ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle with the Sriracha and garnish with the scallions, peanuts, and cilantro, if using.
  • Make Ahead: This soup can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. Keep in mind that the soup will thicken up quite a bit as it cools, so you'll need to add a bit of water or broth to thin it back to the right consistency upon reheating.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. (It may thicken up a bit while in the freezer; if so, just thin it out with a bit of water or broth while reheating.)

COCONUT BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Coconut Butternut Squash Soup image

Once you've got the squash baked, this soup comes together quickly. The mellow flavors of squash, kale and red onions synergize delectably and look gorgeous together as well.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil or other vegetable oil
1 large yellow or sweet white onion, chopped
1 medium apple, any variety, peeled and diced
2 cups prepared vegetable broth, or 2 cups water with 1 vegetable bouillon cube
2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder
2 teaspoons grated fresh or jarred ginger, or more, to taste
Pinch of ground nutmeg or allspice
1 14-ounce can light coconut milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 medium red onions, quartered and thinly sliced
1 good-size bunch kale (about 10 to 12 ounces)

Steps:

  • To bake the squash, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut in half and place halves, cut side up, in a foil-lined, shallow baking dish and cover tightly with more foil. Bake for 30 to 50 minutes, until you can easily pierce the flesh with a knife. Scoop out and set aside.
  • Heat about half the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the apple, squash, broth and spices. Bring to a steady simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the apples are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the solids to a food processor with a slotted spoon, in batches if need be, and process until smoothly pureed, then transfer back to the soup pot. Or better yet, simply insert an immersion blender into the pot and process until smoothly pureed.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and return the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until well heated through. Season with salt and pepper. If time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or two, then heat through as needed before serving.
  • Just before serving, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet. Add the red onions and sauté over low heat until golden and soft.
  • Meanwhile, strip the kale leaves off the stems and cut into thin shreds. Stir together with the onions in the skillet, adding just enough water to moisten the surface. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the kale is bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • To serve, ladle soup into each bowl, then place a small mound of kale and onion mixture in the center.

BEST BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP EVER



Best Butternut Squash Soup Ever image

Slightly sweet, this is one of the best soups I've had in a while.

Provided by Chester

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Squash Soup Recipes     Butternut Squash Soup Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the butternut squash before pureeing it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give the soup a richer, creamier flavor and texture. You can use light coconut milk if you prefer, but the soup will be thinner.
  • Add ginger to taste: Ginger adds a warm, spicy flavor to the soup. You can adjust the amount of ginger you add to taste.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

This butternut squash soup with coconut milk and ginger is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. The soup is creamy and flavorful, with a hint of spice from the ginger. It is also very easy to make, and can be ready in under an hour. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
