Squash And Red Onion Soup Recipes

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH RED ONION-APPLE TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Toss squash, yellow onion, and carrots with 2TBSP oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
• Place celery(or seed), garlic, and herbs in a pot with 2 cups water; stew over medium-low heat to create stock, about 20 minutes.
• Add squash mixture to pot and use a stick blender to puree. If you do not have a stick blender you can throw it in a blender.
• Then, add can of coconut milk and puree. Give it a taste; if needed (or wanted), add milk and adjust salt and pepper.
• Leave it on the stove for a little longer (15 min) and allow it to simmer while making the toppping.
• Topping: Heat 1 TBSP olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, when it is cooked about half way add the apples; cook until the apples and onions are caramelized.
• To serve: pour into bowls and top with Apple-Onion Topping. This reheats really well. I store the topping separate. Sometimes it thickens a bit after refrigerating; if you want it looser just add some more water or milk.

FRENCH ONION & BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter and oil over medium. Add the onions and season with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden, about 30 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and add ¼ cup of the stock and the butternut squash. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up brown bits from bottom of the pan and continue to cook, stirring frequently until the onions are deep golden, about 10 minutes more.
• Sprinkle flour over onions and squash, and stir to coat. Pour sherry and stock into the pot and add thyme. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, until squash is tender, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to broil with a rack in the top third. Arrange the bread on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until golden on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and arrange four ovenproof bowls on the prepared baking sheet. Ladle the soup into the bowls and top each with 2 or 3 slices of toasted baguette and sprinkle with cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted and golden in spots, watching carefully as broilers vary in strength, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.
