Turban Squash Soup Recipes

TURBAN SQUASH SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove the flesh from the squash. If you cut-off the top of the squash and then manually remove the seeds, it should then be easy to use a knife to remove most of the flesh from the squash. Melt the cooking fat in a saucepan placed over a medium heat. Add the leek, carrots, sweet potato, and the flesh of the squash, and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, cover, and let simmer until the vegetables are soft (about 30 min). Transfer the vegetables and broth to a blender or food processor and purée. Return to the pot and turn the heat down to low. Stir in the coconut milk and season to taste. Serve with fresh dill to garnish.

COCONUT BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• To bake the squash, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut in half and place halves, cut side up, in a foil-lined, shallow baking dish and cover tightly with more foil. Bake for 30 to 50 minutes, until you can easily pierce the flesh with a knife. Scoop out and set aside.
• Heat about half the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the apple, squash, broth and spices. Bring to a steady simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the apples are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the solids to a food processor with a slotted spoon, in batches if need be, and process until smoothly pureed, then transfer back to the soup pot. Or better yet, simply insert an immersion blender into the pot and process until smoothly pureed.
• Stir in the coconut milk and return the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until well heated through. Season with salt and pepper. If time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or two, then heat through as needed before serving.
• Just before serving, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet. Add the red onions and sauté over low heat until golden and soft.
• Meanwhile, strip the kale leaves off the stems and cut into thin shreds. Stir together with the onions in the skillet, adding just enough water to moisten the surface. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the kale is bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes.
• To serve, ladle soup into each bowl, then place a small mound of kale and onion mixture in the center.

TURBAN SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Cut squash in half and remove seeds. Place squash halves cut side down on one baking sheet. Peel potatoes, turnips and carrot. Dice all into same size pieces, about 1 inch. Place vegetables in a large bowl and drizzle 2 TBSP of the olive oil over them. Season with salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. Stir to coat evenly. Spread vegetables in a single layer on other prepared baking sheet. Place both baking sheets into oven. Roast squash for 1- 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. Roast other vegetables for 40-45 minutes, stirring once half way through. Remove vegetables from oven and allow squash to finish roasting. When squash is done, remove from oven and scrape pulp from shell. In large soup pot heat remaining olive oil. Add onions and celery and season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Saute until vegetables have softened a bit, 3-5 minutes, then add garlic and continue to saute for another minute or two. Add wine and cook for a few minutes to reduce wine a bit, then stir in the vegetable broth and all of the roasted vegetables. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and working in batches, transfer soup to blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Return soup to pot and stir in the half and half.
