Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, minced
5 slices thick-cut reduced-sodium bacon, chopped
1 stalk celery, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
1 red squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 large carrot, peeled and minced
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 gallon chicken stock, or more as needed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large soup pot over medium-low heat; add olive oil and heat until it starts to smoke. Decrease heat to low and add onion, bacon, celery, garlic, and rosemary to the hot oil. Cover pot with a lid and cook until onion is tender and bacon is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Mix squash, carrot, paprika, and cayenne pepper into onion-bacon mixture; return lid and increase heat to medium-low. Cook squash mixture, stirring occasionally, until squash is softened and nearly cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour chicken stock over squash mixture and increase heat to medium-high; cook until squash is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Remove pot from heat and cool soup slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Blend soup using an immersion blender until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add more chicken stock for a thinner soup.
