Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 butternut squash
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons Chinese 5-spice powder
1 tablespoon coriander seed
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for frying
1/2 large Walla Walla onion, sliced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups chicken stock, plus more if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch fresh sage
Creme fraiche, for serving
Porcini salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to 350 degrees F. Peel and slice the butternut squash into 1 to 2-inch wedges. Place in a large bowl and season with the maple syrup and Chinese 5-spice powder. Grill the squash until grill marks appear, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, crush the coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and add the onions. Cook until soft. Add the coriander and red pepper flakes and cook until the onions are barely caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the grilled squash and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes to help the flavors develop. Take the soup off the heat and blitz in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the soup gets too thick, add more chicken stock to thin it out. Chiffonade half the sage leaves, leaving the other half whole. Fry all the sage leaves in a pan of hot olive oil until the leaves are crispy and still green. Ladle the soup into cups, top with 1 teaspoon creme fraiche, and garnish with fried sage and porcini salt.

This soup was a disappointment. The flavor was flat and the texture was gritty. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this soup again.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I like to add a bit of extra garlic and ginger to give it a bit more flavor. I also like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Pretty good! I thought the soup was a bit bland, so I added some additional spices. I also used a immersion blender to make the soup extra smooth. Overall, it was a good recipe and I would make it again.

This was a great recipe! I used a mix of butternut and kabocha squash, and it turned out beautifully. The soup was creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

This soup is amazing! I love the vibrant golden color and the creamy texture. The flavors are well-balanced and the toasted pumpkin seeds add a nice touch of crunch. I will definitely be making this soup again.

So easy to make and packed with flavor. I used butternut squash and it turned out perfectly. The soup was velvety smooth and the perfect comfort food for a cold night. Will definitely be making this again!
