Butternut Squash And Turnip Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Combine butternut squash, reduced-sodium chicken broth, diced tomatoes, water, black beans, great northern beans, turnip greens, 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, sugar, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, and salt in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage and onion in the hot skillet until sausage is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add regular chicken broth and scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Pour the mixture into the soup pot.
• Reduce heat and simmer soup until squash and greens are tender, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter over medium heat, add onion and carrots and saute until soft.
• Add garlic and saute a few more minutes.
• Add a bit salt at each stage, then a little more if needed at the end. I use a total of 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt for the entire recipe.
• Add squash, turnip and bouillon, then just enough water to barely cover the veggies.
• Cover and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 minutes or until squash is tender.
• Select a pan to make the roux (white sauce). I use a large, wide pan, large enough to hold the roux plus the vegetable soup.
• Make the roux by sauteeing flour in butter til golden, then slowly stir in the milk or almond milk. Heat until thickened, stirring frequently, then turn off heat.
• Puree the vegetable soup in blender until smooth, then stir it into the thickened roux.
• Add the spices, salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine water, stock, squash, turnips, chipotles, peppercorns, and bay leaves.
• Cook for 30-40 minutes on medium heat, until veggies are tender.
• When done, remove leaves and chipotles, and set aside to cool a bit.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, until melted. Add onions and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add parsley and mushrooms, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
• Combine cooked onion mixture with cooked squash mixture. Allow to cool.
• Using either a food processor or immersion blender, puree the mixture until it achieves a consistent texture. (If using a food processor, you will have to work in portions).
• Season as desired.
• This recipe can be served warm or cold. If served cold, add a dollop of light sour cream or plain yogurt.

Steps:

• Put the vegetables in a large pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins or until the vegetables are very tender, then drain.
• Leave the vegetables to steam dry in a colander for a few mins, then return to the pan. Add the milk, butter and nutmeg, then season. Crush the vegetables to a chunky mash and serve.
