A simple-to-prepare soup recipe that's perfect for lunch or dinner, combining the flavors of caramelized onions, garlic, toasted fennel, and coriander seeds with kabocha squash and a crunchy pork rind and herb topping.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 small kabocha squash, peeled and seeded, cut into 1-inch pieces, about 4 cups
kosher salt, to taste
pepper , to taste
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup pork rinds
1/4 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, loosely packed, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons lime juice

1 jalepeno
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed

Steps:

Add fennel and coriander seeds and toast until fragrant, 1 minute. Add squash and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine pork rinds and cilantro in a food processor, such as the Braun MultiQuick 7 Immersion Hand Blender with the chopper attachment. Pulse until finely chopped. Set aside.
  • With a hand blender such as the Braun MultiQuick 7 Immersion Hand Blender, blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the lime juice and fish sauce and season with more salt and pepper.
  • Serve the soup topped with sliced jalapeño, sprinkle with pork rind mixture and more cilantro.
