Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups diced (3/4-inch) raw winter squash (butternut, hubbard, acorn)
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion (1/4-inch)
1/4 cup diced celery (1/4-inch)
1/4 cup diced carrot (1/4-inch)
1 cinnamon stick
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ chicken broth (4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon ground toasted coriander, if desired
1 1/2 cups Roasted Winter Squash (above)
1/2 cup half-and-half, if desired*
2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup Progresso™ plain panko crispy bread crumbs, toasted light brown in sauté pan over medium heat

Steps:

  • To make roasted winter squash: Heat oven to 375°F. Heat butter over medium-high heat in an ovenproof sauté pan; add diced squash, salt and pepper. When squash begins to brown, place pan in oven. Roast for 15 minutes or until medium-brown on all sides. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Puree in food processor, or mash with potato masher or ricer. Measure 1 1/2 cups squash; reserve.
  • To make soup: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the onion, celery, carrot and cinnamon stick; sauté until soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the broth and the coriander; bring to a boil. Simmer for several minutes. Stir in reserved squash until smooth; simmer gently to let the flavors meld, about 10 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick.
  • Puree the soup using an immersion blender or in a blender until smooth. (The soup can be made ahead to this point, cooled, covered, and refrigerated for several days or frozen for about 1 month. It will thicken as it cools and may need thinning with broth or water when reheating.)
  • Return the soup to the pan and reheat gently. Add the half-and-half. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Top each serving with pumpkin seeds and toasted bread crumbs.

This soup was so easy to make and it turned out great! I used a little less ginger than the recipe called for and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but this soup was amazing! The sweetness of the squash was perfectly balanced by the spices. I will definitely be making this again.
