Butternut Squash and Italian Sausage Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large butternut squash, about 3 pounds, halved, seeds removed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage, removed from casings
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, plus 12 whole leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram
6 cups light chicken stock or broth
1 teaspoon cider vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream, or more to taste
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Lightly coat the squash halves with 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil. Season the inside with salt and pepper and place cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until very tender, about 45 minutes. When the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and reserve. Discard the peel.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the remaining vegetable oil and, when hot but not smoking, add the sausage. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until the onions wilted and starting to caramelize, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, sage and marjoram, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the cooked squash and chicken stock, stir well to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • With a hand-held immersion blender, or in batches in a food processor or blender, puree the soup. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean saucepan. Add the cider vinegar and stir to combine. Add the cream and adjust seasoning, to taste.
  • In a small saute pan, cook the butter over medium-high heat until it begins to turn brown around the edges. Add the whole sage leaves and cook until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the leaves to paper towels to drain.

MOOSEWOOD'S BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH SAGE



Moosewood's Butternut Squash Soup With Sage image

This golden soup has a tantalizing aroma and a light crunch from the sage leaves. From the Moosewood Restaurant in New York

Provided by TishT

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil
3 lbs butternut squash
6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 large Spanish onions, peeled and quartered
1/4 cup water
3 cups apple juice or 3 cups vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
pepper
2 teaspoons butter
20 fresh sage leaves, sliced on the diagonal

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Brush the bottom of a baking pan with olive oil and set aside. Cut the squash through the stem ends into halves, prick the skin in several places with a knife, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  • Brush the cut surfaces with about a tablespoon of the olive oil.
  • Put the garlic inside the squash cavities and place halves in the pan cut side down.
  • Add the onions to the pan and brush with remaining olive oil. Pour the water into the bottom of the pan, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 50 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake for 5-10 minutes more or until the squash is tender and the onions are soft.
  • When the squash is cooled enough to handle, scoop out the flesh.
  • Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and discard the skins.
  • In batches in a blender, combine the baked vegetables, apple juice or stock, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper and puree until it is smooth. (If you are making this ahead - chill here - and when ready go to the next direction).
  • Pour the soup into a pot and heat gently.
  • In a small skillet, melt the butter and saute the sage leaves until dark and curled.
  • Garnish each bowl of soup with the sage leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size. Avoid squash with blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash whole or in pieces.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use homemade chicken broth or a store-bought broth.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered for just until the vegetables are tender. Overcooking the soup will make it mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of cream or milk for a richer flavor.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The soup is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and potassium. It is also a good source of fiber and antioxidants. Butternut squash soup can be served as a starter or main course, and it can be paired with a variety of side dishes, such as salad, bread, or crackers.
