Best Butternut Squash Soup Food

THE VERY BEST BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP!!!!! EVERRR!!!!

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!

SUPERB SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and finely chop the onions, carrots and garlic, then trim and finely chop the celery. Deseed and finely chop the chilli. Pick and finely chop the rosemary.
• Heat a couple of lugs of olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the sage leaves and fry for 30 seconds, or until crisp, then remove to kitchen paper.
• Place the pan of flavoured oil back on the heat, add the onion, carrot, garlic, celery, chilli, rosemary and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then cook gently for 10 minutes, or until sweet and soft.
• Meanwhile, halve, deseed and rough chop the squash. When the time's up, add the squash and stock to the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
• For the croutons, drizzle a little olive oil over the ciabatta, pat it in, then finely grate and press some grated Parmesan on to each side. Place in a dry, non-stick pan and fry until golden on both sides.
• When the squash is tender, whiz the soup with a stick blender or pour it into a blender and pulse to a smooth purée - leave it slightly chunky, if you prefer.
• Season to perfection with salt and pepper, then divide between bowls, placing 2 croutons on top of each.
• Sprinkle with a few crispy sage leaves and drizzle with a swirl of quality extra virgin olive oil, then serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Slice squash vertically down the center, scoop out the seeds, and place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the outside skin of the squash, and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes (or until almost tender).
• Allow squash to cool, peel the skin off, and cut squash into 2-inch cubes. Set aside.
• Next, in a large pot, heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute onions until slightly brown, about 3-4 minutes, adding a pinch of salt as they cook. Stir in garlic, ginger and cayenne pepper and cook for 1 more minute.
• Add 2 cups of the stock, brown sugar (or maple syrup), and squash and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes (or until the squash is very tender). Remove from heat.

THE BEST BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP EVER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F
• Place squash halves on a greased large baking sheet. Rub the squash with oil and then Sprinkle squash with cinnamon and baked covered with foil for about 45 minutes to an hour (when you insert a fork, it should be soft.
• In a stockpot, heat oil over medium. Sauté the onions for about 5 minutes. Add the chilli flakes and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, salt and sauté for another 2 minutes.
• When squash is ready, remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes or so. Scoop out the squash - it should be very easy to remove from the skin. If not, you didn't cook it long enough. Add Squash to the stockpot with the sauteed onions and other spices and along with the 8 cups of veggie stock. Simmer for about 15 minutes while stirring every so often to allow flavours to combine and deepen. Add the maple syrup.
• Transfer the soup in a blender or keep the soup in the stock pot and use an immersion (hand) blender and blend until smooth- I wanted mine extra smooth so I blended for at least 5 minutes until it was velvety smooth.
• Add coconut milk and blend for another 10-20 seconds or so.
• Return to the pot and warm again and serve. Test it out and add more spice and salt and pepper if needed.

BLACK BEAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Remove the seeds from your squash, cut off the peel, then cut into small cubes.
• Finely chop the onion and bell pepper.
• Mince your garlic.
• Drain and rinse a can of black beans (or cook from dry).
• Warm avocado oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Then add chopped bell pepper and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Next, add the spices.
• Toss to coat the spices evenly around your vegetables.
• Add the cooking sherry/ wine and cook until it's reduced by (at least) half. This takes about 3-4 minutes, or longer if you use more. Scrape around the bottom of your pot to lift any spices/ flavor that may have stuck.
• Add the remaining ingredients.
• Cook until the squash is soft, about 10 minutes. I recommend adding a lid to the pot for the first 10 minutes, then removing it for the last 10 minutes (keep lid on if you like a thinner soup).
• You can speed the cooking process by turning up the heat to medium-high. I prefer a slightly longer cooking time to give the flavors time to meld together.
• Decide if you want to serve the soup as-is, partially blended or fully blended (it's a very thick soup when fully blended).
• Use an immersion blender, regular blender or food processor to blend the soup.
• For a partially blended soup, blend anywhere from ¼ to ¾ of the soup (recipe photos show about ½ the soup blended).
• Serve the soup hot and garnish with any of your favorite toppings like cilantro, vegan sour cream, avocado, tortilla chips, pepitas, sprinkle of smoked paprika, etc.

• Cool squash; remove flesh and set aside, throw away skins; strain the steaming liquid and throw away the solids; there should be 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of liquid.
• In a blender, puree the squash a bit at a time; add enough of the liquid to make a smooth and creamy consistency; transfer each batch to a saucepan.

BEST BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP EVER

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.
