Another soup recipe for you

This is another of the favourite soups we often eat over the winter.  Enjoy!
Please note: for some reason Blog-grrr has left
spaces in the recipe so it appears as tho' I might
have left some ingredients out - not the case!!!

 BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
3 T. olive oil

5 cloves garlic, minced

8 c. butternut squash cut into 1 ½” pieces

½ c. brown sugar OR maple syrup
s & p to taste
½ tsp. sage
2 medium red onions, sliced 
1 ½ c. roasted red peppers
2 c. apple juice (or cider)
4 ½ - 6 c. chicken or beef broth (or combination)
¾ tsp. ginger (optional – or use less….to taste)
1 c. whipping cream or condensed milk

     Coat large roast pan with olive oil.  Add squash, onions, garlic and red peppers.  Cover with 2 c. apple juice.  Season with salt and pepper.   Sprinkle with ½ c. brown sugar (or maple syrup).  Bake @ 350 for 1 ½ hours, stirring occasionally.  In the meantime, bring stock to almost boiling and keep hot.  Add spices when vegetables are done.  Combine veg’s and stock and blend to desired smoothness.  Return to stove to keep warm and stir in whipping cream (or condensed milk).  Garnish with grated cheddar cheese and chives if desired.

  1. The soup sounds lovely, Mary Anne. It wouldn’t take much for me to make it veggie too! Must see if I can find a butternut squash!
    Great links too!

  5. The soup sounds so good. I can't make a good one, but this one seems fail proof. I think the Gingerbread Man has some competition now. Dolls are cute as can be.

  7. Thanks for the soup recipe. My favorite of the links is the Stilettos. I can see using lots of nifty beads. They will make great gifts too. Must try this one.

  8. I have to admit... There are some ingredients in this recipe that don't appeal to me (namely brown sugar, maple and ginger), but you've made me consider that I really need to use one of the butternut squashes I have in the fridge for making soup. I have not been drawn to butternut squash soup (don't know if it's the color, what I imagine to be the texture, or what), but you've made me reconsider. I love roasted butternut squash, but you've brought me a step closer to trying to make soup with it. ;^)

    1. There are lots of butternut squash soup recipes out there and I'm sure you'll find one you like. If you're worried about the texture, perhaps try it in a restaurant (or buy it pre-made) and taste it to see what you think. If not, roasted is great!!!
