Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 lb diced butternut squash (about 1 inch)
1 stick unsalted butter
1 white onion, coarsley chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 can(s) fire roasted tomatoes (drained)
1 can(s) great northern or cannellini beans- drained
1/2 c sour cream
1-2 dash(es) of each: allspice, Worcestershire sauce, Sriracha
24-32 oz chicken or vegetable stock
COATING FOR SQUASH
1/2 Tbsp fresh black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, sage, italian seasoning, chili powder
1 tsp paprika, cumin, marjoram
ROASTED RED PEPPER PUREE
4 red bell peppers
1 bunch fresh basil leaves (about a handful)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400. Cover a large baking sheet (I used a half sheet pan) in foil. Drizzle a layer of olive oil- probably a few tbsp. Dump squash on the pan.
  • 2. Mix seasonings listed for the squash in a bowl and then sprinkle about half over the top. Toss with your fingers to bring up some of the oil and then add half the remainder of the seasoning and toss again. What's left will be used in a few steps. Bake on 400 for 20 minutes.
  • 3. After 20 minutes have gone by, toss the squash and return to the oven for another 15-ish minute. You want some browning on the edges but no burning. When it's done, it can hang out on the counter for a bit until you need it.
  • 4. While the squash is in the oven, add the butter and garlic to a large stockpot on medium heat. Let that simmer, stirring occasionally, until the garlic begins to turn golden. Then add the onion and remainder of the squash seasonings plus the allspice.
  • 5. Simmer the onion for a couple of minutes on medium heat. Then add the squash, Worcestershire, beans, and tomatoes. Cook on medium for a few minutes while stirring.
  • 6. Add 3 cups of vegetable or chicken stock (or enough to be even with the top of the vegetables). Let it come to a boil, add a squirt or two of sriracha. Then reduce heat to simmer and cover for 30 minutes. You can stir it after about 15 and lower the heat if it starts boiling vigorously.
  • 7. At some point when you have a minute, put the bell peppers on a pan in the oven. Roast them on 400 for about 40 minutes, rotating after 20. When they're beginning to burn on the outside (on all sides) they're done. Let them rest on a plate until they're cool enough to handle barehanded. The skin should come off very easily, remove the seeds and throw the meat into a blender or food processor with the basil and some pepper. Puree until smooth and that's done for now.
  • 8. The soup can simhmer/boil until the squash starts to get very mushy. Once it is, turn off the heat and puree to your preferred consistency with an immersion blender or regular blender.
  • 9. Add the sour cream and stir. Add any seasonings if it needs them as well.
  • 10. Now you can serve it! For dinner, I put the soup in a bowl and put some of the red pepper puree in the middle (mostly because it looked pretty) but you can also mix all of the puree right into the soup. It's really good with some crusty bread.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SOUP



Butternut Squash and Roasted Red Pepper Soup image

This soup is a family favorite that is a variation on a soup I had at a church potluck. We'd had a bunch of butternut and acorn squash plus some mystery hybrid squash come up in our compost pile and soup seemed the perfect way to use them up. You can use any combination of winter squash in this. I usually cut the squash in half and microwave it cut side down in some water for about 2 minutes on high to make it easier to peel and cube. Cooking time includes time to broil the peppers.

SAVORY ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Savory Roasted Butternut Squash Soup image

The 2 hour cooking time is largely unattended - This is savory and a little bit sweet, spicy, warming, thick & creamy. A perfect autumn soup to sip by the fire pit after a long day of raking. My kids love this soup and ask for it - It's a great way to sneak veggies in to their diet too! This is a three step recipe and I've kept the added salt minimal as commercial stocks are often salty - Please salt and pepper to taste! I also recommend an OXO vegetable peeler for the squash. Change ups to this recipe I've tried: Balsamic vinegar for the cider vinegar - the taste is a bit sharper. Molasses for the maple syrup - a more savory option. A sprig or two of fresh rosemary added with the broth - Awesome! Enjoy!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large butternut squash
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 carrots
1 onion
4 -6 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons butter
1 quart chicken or 1 quart vegetable stock
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°. Peel, seed and cut the butternut squash into 1 - 2 inch chunks. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar with the maple syrup, salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and thyme. Add the squash and toss well to coat. Arrange squash on a baking sheet and roast for 30 - 45 minutes.
  • Step 2: While the squash is roasting, chop the onion, carrots, and garlic. In a large dutch oven or stock pot sauté the onions and carrots in the oil until a little soft and beginning to brown. Remove the squash from the oven and add it to the dutch oven with the garlic. Pour the chicken stock over. Bring the stock to a boil, then cover the dutch oven and put it in the oven and adjust the temperature - you can let this slow cook at 250 for two hours or more, or roast it at 325° for about an hour.
  • Step 3: Using an immersion blender or a potato masher roughly mash up the soup and return it to the oven at 325° for 30 minutes. You may have to add a little water or stock if the soup is too thick. Adjust the seasonings and serve!

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm, heavy for its size, and has a smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Roast the squash properly: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To ensure even roasting, cut the squash into evenly sized pieces and toss them with oil and spices before roasting.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered until the vegetables are tender but not mushy. Overcooking the soup will make it bland and watery.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or spices.

Conclusion:

This savory roasted butternut squash and red pepper soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
