SWEET & CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP FROM DISNEY'S BOMA



Sweet & Creamy Butternut Squash Soup from Disney's Boma image

This recipe is beyond fantastic - it's from Disney's Boma - Flavors of Africa Restaurant at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. There are two versions of this recipe, sweet and savory. This is the sweet version. We always time our visits to this restaurant just to have this incredible soup (they only serve it on certain days)! The chefs were gracious enough to share the recipe with me, and it's an absolute favorite in our family! The soup uses heavy ingredients, but you could try lightening it up with splenda, 2%milk, and half-and-half.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 ounces unsalted butter
11 ounces butternut squash, cut in chunks
salt and pepper (to taste)
8 ounces water
8 ounces heavy cream
8 ounces milk
2 tablespoons sugar, adjust if needed
1 teaspoon ginger (ground)

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 ounces water
3 ounces American cheese

Steps:

  • In a small pot, melt the butter and pour over the squash. Season squash with salt and pepper and roast in 325-degree oven for 45 minutes (I use a dutch oven for this recipe, as it transfers easily from the oven to the stove).
  • In a kettle, mix squash with water. Add heavy cream and milk and puree using an immersion blender. Add sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and coriander.
  • Make a slurry with the cornstarch and add to the soup.
  • Add the American cheese and continue mixing until smooth.
  • Adjust seasoning.

SWEET AND CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Sweet and Creamy Butternut Squash Soup image

This filling soup serves well as a healthy dessert (squash is an excellent source of magnesium, potassium, vitamins C and A, and a good source of calcium). It can be served hot or cold and has an interesting texture. I like this recipe because it is simple to make, yet has a lovely flavor. If you enjoy a thicker, more custard-like consistency you can use less than the directed amount of skim milk. If you prefer a soupier thickness, then you should add more skim milk during the simmering process.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed with seeds removed
1 1/2 teaspoons allspice
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup water
1 quart skim milk
1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar blend (packed)
3/4 cup walnuts (for garnish)
1 pinch cinnamon (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan on low.
  • Add squash and spices.
  • Stir-cook on low for three minutes and then add water.
  • Cover pan and increase heat to level six.
  • Allow to steam for ten minutes.
  • Remove from heat and blend contents of pan in a food processor with 1/2 quart of skim milk.
  • Pour food processor mixture into a pot and add Splenda brown sugar blend.
  • Heat to level 6 while stirring in the remaining skim milk. (The amount of milk added is variable to desired texture.).
  • Cover and simmer on level 4 for 15 minutes.
  • If serving warm, ladle soup into bowls and garnish with crushed walnuts and cinnamon. (An alternative is to use more Splenda Brown Sugar Blend).
  • If serving cold, refrigerate for 2 hours and then follow previous instructions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the squash before using it in the soup: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water. If you're using water, you may want to add some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're adding the ingredients to the pot, don't overcrowd it. If the pot is too crowded, the ingredients won't cook evenly.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. You can simmer the soup for longer if you want, but don't let it boil.
  • Puree the soup until it's smooth: You can use a blender or an immersion blender to puree the soup. If you're using a blender, be sure to cover the top with a towel to prevent splatters.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is pureed, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to the top of the soup.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. With its sweet and creamy flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
