Butternut Squash Soup With Hazelnut Creamer Recipes

WINTER SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a heavy - bottomed stockpot, add the onions, and cook over medium - low heat for 10 minutes, or until translucent. Add the pumpkin puree, butternut squash, chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer over medium - low heat for about 20 minutes, until the butternut squash is very tender. Process the mixture through the medium blade of a food mill. Return to the pot, add the half - and - half, and heat slowly. If the soup needs more flavor, add another teaspoon of salt. Serve hot with garnishes, if desired.
• Cook's Note: To serve with croutons, remove the crusts from 2 slices of white bread, cut them in 1/2-inch cubes, and saute them in 1 tablespoon of butter until browned. Season with salt and pepper.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH HAZELNUT CREAMER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Toss butternut squash, olive oil, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour.
• Transfer baked squash to a 4-quart pot and add chicken stock until level with squash. Add ginger and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, about 15 minutes.
• Fill blender halfway with soup. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a pot. Repeat with remaining soup. Add creamer and stir to combine.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Using a large, heavy knife, split the squash in half and scrape out the seeds and discard them. Place the squash halves on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper and roast until very tender, about 1 hour. Use a spoon to scrape out the flesh; set aside, discarding the skin.
• In a large pot set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion just turns golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the stock and squash and cook, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Allow to cool.
• Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor and return it to the pot. Stir in the milk and cream and reheat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve garnished with red onion and chervil.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the butternut squash on the pan and drizzle each half with just enough olive oil to lightly coat the squash on the inside (about 1/2 teaspoon each). Rub the oil over the inside of the squash and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
• Turn the squash face down and roast until it is tender and completely cooked through, about 40 to 50 minutes (don't worry if the skin or flesh browns-that's good for flavor). Set the squash aside until it's cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large soup pot, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until shimmering (if your blender has a soup preset, use a medium skillet to minimize dishes.) Add the chopped shallot and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the shallot has softened and is starting to turn golden on the edges, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring frequently. Transfer the contents to your stand blender (see notes on how to use an immersion blender instead).
• Use a large spoon to scoop the butternut squash flesh into your blender. Discard the tough skin. Add the maple syrup, nutmeg and a few twists of freshly ground black pepper to the blender. Pour in 3 cups vegetable broth, being careful not to fill the container past the maximum fill line (you can work in batches if necessary, and stir in any remaining broth later).
• Securely fasten the lid. Blend on high (or select the soup preset, if available), being careful to avoid hot steam escaping from the lid. Stop once your soup is ultra creamy and warmed through.
• If you would like to thin out your soup a bit more, stir in the remaining cup of broth. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil, to taste, and blend well. Taste and stir in more salt and pepper, if necessary.
• If your soup is piping hot from the blending process, you can pour it into serving bowls. If not, pour it back into your soup pot and warm the soup over medium heat, stirring often, until it's nice and steamy. I like to top individual bowls with some extra black pepper.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Arrange the butternut squash and onions in one single layer on a large sheet pan. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Generously drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (about 3 tbsp) and toss to coat (make sure to spread everything out evenly on the sheet pan). Put the garlic cloves in a small piece of foil and drizzle with olive oil, then fold the foil shut.
• Roast in the heated oven for 30 minutes or until the butternut squash is tender and fully cooked through and charred nicely in some parts.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool just a little bit, then carefully transfer to the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade. Add 2 cups of broth (or less, being careful not to fill the processor too much). Close the lid and blend until smooth.
• Transfer the mixture to a large pot and stir in the remaining broth, spices, and 3 tablespoons of tahini paste. Simmer over medium heat, stirring regularly until the soup is fully warmed through (another 10 minutes or so)
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining tahini paste and honey until well combined.
• When ready to serve, transfer the soup to serving bowls and top each bowl with a drizzle of the tahini and honey mixture and a bit of the crushed hazelnuts, if using. Enjoy!
