Delicious Ways to Make Butternut Squash Soup

 

[ad#co-3]

Squash Soup Ingredients:

6 servings

1 medium butternut squash (peeled, halved, seeded, and diced; about 2 pounds)

2 medium canned plum tomatoes

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water

Black pepper (freshly ground)

2 teaspoons kosher salt

4 cloves smashed garlic

1 thinly sliced onion

2 tablespoons Parmesan (freshly grated)

2 fresh sage leaves

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Squash Soup Directions:

1. Take a soup pot, pour the olive oil into it, and heat over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, smashed garlic, sliced onion, sage leaves, and ground black pepper.
2. Cover and cook for 15 minutes while stirring occasionally. When the mixture becomes soft and fragrant, add canned tomatoes and raise the heat to medium-high.
3. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon and keep cooking for 7 minutes or until the onions turn slightly brown and the tomatoes break up.
4. Add the remaining teaspoon salt and the squash to the mixture. Stir occasionally and cook for nearly 12 minutes or until the squash is tender.
5. Add the broth and bring to simmer. Remove the cover and cook the mixture for nearly 20 minutes or until the vegetables is tender.
6. Remove the pot from heat and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
7. Puree the soup in a blender and return to the soup pot. Heat it again over medium heat. Stir in balsamic vinegar.
8. Serve the soup warm in small bowls or cups. Adding a bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top will add the perfect final touch.
9. Using a good-quality chicken stock will really bring out the nutty flavor of the squash. However, it will not be sweet, rather a bit flavorful because of the use of black pepper and balsamic vinegar.
