Delicious and very easy to make. You can use 3 to 4 cups of chicken broth instead of the water and bouillon cubes. Also works well with half as much cream cheese if you don't want it too rich.

Roasted Butternut Squash Cream Soup with Ginger image

This is our favorite butternut squash soup and the whole family loves it. I usually make a huge pot of soup and freeze parts of it before adding the cream. I like my soup thick, so I don't add a ton of vegetable broth, but feel free to thin it out with more broth.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 small butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons butter
2 onion, chopped
2 ½ cups hot vegetable broth, or more to taste, divided
1 (3 inch) piece piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon curry powder, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy whipping cream, or more to taste
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon cider vinegar
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Brush cut side of butternut squash with olive oil and place on a baking sheet, cut-side down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peel is crinkly and butternut squash is soft, about 40 minutes. Scrape flesh into a bowl with a spoon and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat and cook onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add squash flesh, 2 cups hot broth, and ginger. Season with ginger, curry, cumin, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors are well combined, about 15 minutes.
  • Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Add more hot broth for a thinner soup. Stir in cream and season to taste with sugar, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, and salt.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast the squash until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Cream of butternut squash soup is best when it is slightly thick and creamy. Overcooking the soup will make it thin and watery.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or spices: A sprinkle of fresh herbs or spices can add a pop of flavor and color to the soup. Try garnishing the soup with chopped chives, thyme, sage, or nutmeg.

Conclusion:

Cream of butternut squash soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed year-round. It is a great way to use up leftover squash, and it can be easily adapted to suit your own taste. Whether you like it thick or thin, creamy or chunky, there is a cream of butternut squash soup recipe out there for you.
