Sherry and Butternut Squash Soup image

I was trying to capture the flavor of the Fresh Choice Fall Harvest Butternut Squash Soup. I started from scratch, so I'm claiming this recipe as my own.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lbs butternut squash, cubed
3 stalks celery
1 1/4 cups cooking sherry
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon onion powder
garlic salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In one pan, stir fry the celery in a small portion of olive oil. When softened, add a quarter cup of sherry and cover immediately. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth and continue to simmer.
  • In a separate large saucepan, stir fry the squash on medium heat until bright orange.
  • Pour in remaining sherry and cover immediately. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add in remaining chicken broth and add in bouillon. Add enough water so that the squash is completely covered, about 2 cups. Let cook until completely tender (you can test with a fork; if it goes completely through without resistance, it's done).
  • Combine butternut mixture and celery mixture into a large blender and blend until completely smooth.
  • Pour back into the large saucepan. Add butter, half and half, onion powder and garlic salt. When the butter is done melting in, you're done.
  • Garnish with cheddar and sour cream, if desired.

5/5 stars! This soup is a must-try for any butternut squash lover. The sherry adds a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the creamy squash. I also love the addition of crispy sage leaves, which add a nice textural contrast.

This soup is perfect for a cold winter day. It's warm and comforting, and the sherry gives it a nice boozy kick. I love serving it with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

I'm a vegetarian and I love this soup! The sherry and spices give it a really rich and flavorful broth. I usually serve it with a side of crusty bread or a salad.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. I had some roasted squash in the fridge and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up. The soup turned out creamy and delicious.

I added a bit of extra spice to this soup by using a spicy sherry and adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. It gave the soup a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors. Highly recommend!
