HEARTY AND QUICK BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Hearty and Quick Butternut Squash Soup image

Creamy, thick, hearty and delicious. I was skeptical about whether my family would like this, but I needed a hearty meal in a hurry and we had an unexpected guest. I had left over roasted butternut squash and had just read some squash soup recipes in a magazine. All of their recipes sounded too sweet for my taste, and I didn't have a lot of the ingredients, so I made up my own. Everyone, even my meat-and-potatoes husband loved it. I knew it was a hit when my son suggested that maybe I should write this one down!

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 quarts, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium butternut squash, cut in half, seeded, brushed with butter, and roasted until tender
1 (32 ounce) box chicken broth
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup butter
fresh thyme
half-and-half, as needed
water, as needed
1 cup cooked quinoa (optional)
thyme, stems with leaves

Steps:

  • Roasted Butternut Squash:.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For the best flavor and texture, choose a butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash with bruises or blemishes.
  • Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash whole or in halves, but be sure to pierce the skin with a fork before roasting to prevent it from bursting.
  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor: A high-powered blender or food processor will help you achieve a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a high-powered blender or food processor, you can mash the squash by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Add flavor with spices and herbs: Spices and herbs can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cumin, and curry powder. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Serve the soup with a garnish: A garnish can help to add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Some good options include roasted pumpkin seeds, chopped walnuts, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this butternut squash soup a try.
