Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and large-diced
1 large yellow or sweet onion, minced
1-2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
1 Tbsp unsalted butter ¹
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/8 tsp dried oregano
1 small lemon, juiced ²
4 cups (32 oz) rich chicken or vegetable stock
kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 (15 oz) can cooked cannelini beans, drained but not rinsed
1-1/2 cups baby kale leaves ³

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the butternut squash, and cook, turning occasionally, until just beginning to caramelize and soften, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the butternut squash to a plate.
  • Add the onion to the pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, and just beginning to brown.
  • Add the garlic, and cook for another minute or two.
  • Add the butter, and as it melts, stir in the herbs. Let cook for another minute or two until the onions are lightly golden.
  • Add the butternut squash back to the pot, along with the lemon juice and stock, and stir to combine.
  • Cover, and bring the stock just to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, and let simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add the white beans and kale leaves, and continue to simmer until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes. If using a more delicate green, such as spinach, add right before serving. Serve warm with crusty bread. Enjoy!!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound dried borlotti (cranberry or October) beans
8 cups water
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 cups rustic or sourdough bread cubes (1/2-inch, crusts removed)
3 unpeeled garlic cloves, smashed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup diced (1/2-inch) onion
1 cup diced (1/2-inch) carrots
1 cup sliced celery (stalks cut in half lengthwise and then cut into 1/2-inch slices)
1 cup diced (1/2-inch) parsnip
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 firmly packed tablespoons sliced fresh sage leaves
3 cups peeled and diced (1/2-inch) butternut squash
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or dried red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight, or for at least 6 hours, in enough cold water to cover. Drain and transfer to a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the water and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, until almost tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the salt and cook 10 more minutes.
  • Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the cubes to a large bowl and toss with the garlic, salt, pepper, oil, and sage. Let stand 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a second large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, parsnip, garlic, and sage, and cook until the vegetables have softened but are not colored, about 10 minutes. Add the squash and cook for 10 more minutes. Season with the remaining tablespoon of salt, and the black and Aleppo peppers. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Spoon 1 cup of the cooked beans along with 1/4 cup of their cooking liquid into a blender and puree until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the puree into the pan with the vegetables. Add the whole beans with their cooking liquid, the bay leaves, and honey, and simmer until the vegetables are completely tender, about 10 more minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired.
  • Serve the soup in warm bowls, topped with the croutons.
