CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH GINGER



Creamy Butternut Squash Soup With Ginger image

I was intrigued by the addition of apple vinegar to "round out" the flavor profile of this soup. A couple tablespoons of decoratively swirled creme fraiche (or sour cream) & a sprinkling of toasted slivered almonds makes for an elegant presentation. Found in the Tribune's Food & Drink Weekly.

Provided by Busters friend

Categories     Onions

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 lbs butternut squash
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons gingerroot, minced fresh
6 cups water
2 teaspoons salt, more to taste
apple cider vinegar, to taste (about a tablespoon)
2 tablespoons creme fraiche (or sour cream) (optional)
1 tablespoon almonds, toasted & slivered

Steps:

  • Peel the squash, using a sharp vegetable peeler. Cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut in 1-inch chunks.
  • Heat the butter 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. Add the diced squash, water and salt and bring to a simmer. Cook at a low simmer until the squash is tender enough to smash with a spoon, about 30 minutes.
  • Puree the soup, either using an immersion blender or grinding it in several stages in a regular blender. The soup should be completely smooth and a little thicker than heavy cream. Ladle the soup through a strainer into a clean soup pot, discarding any bits of squash or ginger left behind.
  • Heat the soup through once more and season to taste, adding salt first and then the vinegar. Add the vinegar one-half teaspoons at a time; it will take a little more than 1 tablespoons.
  • To serve, stir the crème fraîche to loosen the texture. Ladle the soup into wide bowls and spoon 1 to 2 Tbsps. of crème fraîche in a decorative pattern onto each. Scatter a few toasted slivered almonds over the soup and serve immediately.

GINGER BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Ginger Butternut Squash Soup image

The combination of ginger and butternut squash is delicious and addictive. This recipe yields a creamy soup without the use of any cream. I love to whip this soup up with my immersion blender right in the pot. This soup also freezes well. You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream if you desire, although I serve it without a garnish. If you want to make this a completely dairy free soup, use dairy free margarine (Fleishman's unsalted, or Earth Balance.) Oh yeah, and you MUST use fresh ginger.
