AUTUMN SQUASH AND SWEET POTATO SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and set out a large baking sheet.
• To a large mixing bowl, add vegetables from the roasted vegetables section of ingredients (butternut squash, sweet potato, half an onion, 1 carrot and garlic).
• Add oil, salt and pepper and stir to combine well. Transfer vegetables to baking sheet, then bake in preheated oven for 30-45 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and golden brown. Stir halfway through baking.
• Start this process during the second half of the vegetables roasting, when you have about 10 minutes left.
• Add butter to a large dutch oven or stockpot (whatever you would normally cook a big batch of soup in), and heat over MED HIGH heat.
• Once melted, add diced onion, diced carrot, and diced celery. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir.
• Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and lightly golden.
• Stir in cinnamon, rosemary, sage and nutmeg.
• Add roasted vegetables from the baking sheet, then pour in chicken broth.
• Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth or desired texture is reached.
• Continue heating until hot throughout (this time will vary from person to person), mine just took about 5 minutes. Taste, and add salt and pepper if necessary.
• Serve hot, with an optional swirl of heavy cream or sour cream, and/or topped with any desired toppings.

SAVORY ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH & RED PEPPER SOUP

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.

SAVORY ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

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!
