ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH CREAM SOUP WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Brush cut side of butternut squash with olive oil and place on a baking sheet, cut-side down.
• Bake in the preheated oven until peel is crinkly and butternut squash is soft, about 40 minutes. Scrape flesh into a bowl with a spoon and set aside.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat and cook onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add squash flesh, 2 cups hot broth, and ginger. Season with ginger, curry, cumin, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors are well combined, about 15 minutes.
• Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Add more hot broth for a thinner soup. Stir in cream and season to taste with sugar, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, and salt.

ROASTED SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the squash, cut side down, on baking sheets and roast for 45 minutes, or until flesh is soft. Scoop out the flesh into a large bowl.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Saute the onion, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in the garlic, ginger and curry powder and cook 1 minute. Add the apples and sherry and simmer for 10 minutes, or until apples soften.
• Puree batches of the squash flesh and broth in a food processor or blender. Transfer the squash puree to a large saucepan. Puree the apple/sherry mixture and stir into pureed squash.
• Heat over medium heat and season with salt, pepper and cayenne, to taste.

ROASTED SQUASH SOUP WITH CUMIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line 1 large and 1 small baking sheet with aluminum foil. With a large knife, split the squash in half, then scoop out and reserve the seeds. Brush the cut side of the squash with 2 teaspoons of oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on the large baking sheet and roast until very tender, about 35 minutes.
• Remove any orange fibers from seeds and rinse them under running water. Drain and place on paper towels to dry. Toss seeds with the remaining teaspoon of oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, and season with salt. Place on the small baking sheet, cover loosely with foil and roast along with the squash, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Scoop the flesh from the squash shells and place it in a kettle. Add the chicken stock, garlic, vinegar, sugar, cayenne and remaining cumin. Bring to a boil, lower and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
• Working in small batches, transfer the soup to the container of a blender and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pan. Stir in the cream and bring back just to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve garnished with the cumin seeds.

BUTTERNUT SOUP WITH CUMIN

Steps:

• In a 6-quart heavy-bottomed soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat and stir in the onions. Cover, reduce the heat, and braise for 15 minutes, checking that the onions don't burn.
• Add the squash to the onions. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, cumin, and thyme; cover the pot. Braise for another 15 minutes, checking once in a while that the vegetables do not burn.
• Add the broth, bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the squash is tender.
• Purée the soup in a blender or food processor in batches or use an immersion blender. Reheat the soup; taste for salt, and add more cumin to taste. Serve boiling hot with croutons.
