Best Butternut Squash Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil on medium and saute onion, garlic, ginger until soft and golden (about 3, 5 min - make sure not to burn the garlic!).
• Add cumin and mustard seed and saute until you hear the seeds pop (30-60 sec), then stir in the cubed squash and toss to coat, then add stock, bring to a boil and cover.
• Reduce heat and let simmer until the squash is soft and tender. At this point, you want to add the salt and pepper to taste.
• You want to turn heat off and let cool before you puree. Once cooled, this is where you need a blender and an extra pot. You want to place around 3-4 ladles of the soup in the blender - don't fill all the way - and puree, then place in the new pot. Once all the soup is pureed, put back on medium low heat.
• Stir in the cream (make sure you stir enough to get the cream incorporated, otherwise it will curdle).
• Then add your corn and red pepper. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes and VOILA!

Steps:

• For the soup: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in the chicken stock, add the thyme and sage and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the squash is very soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream. Puree using an immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or let cool completely, pour into freezer bags, label and freeze.
• For the topping: When read to serve, mix together the cream and sour cream in a small bowl. Drizzle designs over the soup with the mixture.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook the onion, garlic, and thyme in the hot butter until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the bouillon into the soup; season with cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper; remove from heat.
• Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a kitchen towel and carefully start the blender using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a serving bowl. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup in the pot.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer., Stir in squash, broth, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 10-15 minutes or until squash is tender. Puree soup using an immersion blender. Or cool slightly and puree soup in batches in a blender; return to pan. Add cream; cook and stir until heated through. If desired, garnish with additional heavy whipping cream and crispy sage.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy four-quart saucepan. Add the onions, reduce heat to low, and saute slowly until they are tender but not brown. Stir in the garlic.
• Add the squash and water, cover and simmer until the squash is tender, about 40 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool for about 15 minutes, then puree in two batches in a food processor. Up to this point the soup can be prepared in advance, even refrigerated or frozen.
• Return the puree to the saucepan and add the stock and the sherry. Reheat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese on each portion.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, then add the garlic and onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
• Add the potato, celery, carrot, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 3 minutes.
• Add the butternut squash, broth, water, bay leaf, and thyme and stir. Bring to a boil.
• Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25-30 minutes.
• Remove the thyme stems and bay leaf.
• Use an immersion or countertop blender to blend the soup until smooth.
• Let cool for 2 minutes, then serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Saute the sliced onion and crushed garlic in a little olive oil.
• Add the pumpkin or butternut squash and peeled potatoes to the pot and immediately add enough water to cover everything.
• Add the oregano and cover the pot with a lid that allows steam to escape.
• Boil until the pumpkin/butternut squash and potatoes are soft.
• Either mash the vegetables for a chunky soup or blend for a smooth soup.
• At this point, the soup can be refrigerated for a few days or frozen for a few months or served immediately.
• When ready to serve, warm up the soup and mix in the cream saving a little to swirl on each plate. The cream is a delicious extra, but for a lighter, healthier soup I leave out the cream.
