Gingered Butternut Squash Soup #SundaySupper

Gingered Butternut Squash Soup

I have not done a #SundaySupper for awhile but I couldn’t pass up this with a great theme of Warming Trends hosted byΒ T.R. Crumbley from Gluten Free Crumbley. This theme has recipes that will warm your stomach and your soul. Great fall comfort foods like our Gingered Butternut Squash Soup. My girlfriend Colleen was after a fall soup for Thanksgiving on my site but I didn’t really have a Thanksgiving soup recipe. She was surprised as she loves the soup that I serve at Thanksgiving but I guess I am too busy with preparation to share one on my site at that time. So this was a perfect theme to show case one of my delicious soups. I make a different one every time but they are all fall flavored with wonderful squash, pumpkin, carrots, or sweet potatoes or a combination of.

This one in particular I had not made before but they are all around the same fall theme and my company would think they had had it before too. I love using spices like ginger in my fall soups. They all have one connection though as they are delicious!

This soup I topped with sweet and spicy candied pecans, I made two different kinds to try, one crunchy and the other with more of a caramel which gave a softer nut. My family loved both and I will let you decide which one you favour. I have a super quick method for you to get a candied nut.

I added a teaspoon of cream to the top and as you see in the first picture some chives. These are of course additional toppings that you may or may not want to use. The soup actually doesn’t have any cream in it as I used a light coconut milk to get that delicious creamy texture, so you may want to omit the additional cream but I think it looks so pretty.

Author: Tara Noland
Recipe type: Soup
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 large butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 5 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. ginger puree
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1-14 oz. can light unsweetened coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cream, half and half (optional)
  • Chives
Caramelized nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp. cayenne
  • 1 tsp. cream (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Rub the inside of the butternut squash with the olive oil. Bake the squash for about 1 hour or until very tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool enough to handle and then spoon out the flesh into a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large pot melt the butter and add the onion, carrots and ginger, stir over medium heat until softened, about 8 min. Add the stock and squash and simmer for about 20 min. covered, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook another 10 min. stirring occasionally. Make sure the carrots and the squash are very tender. Remove from heat and add the coconut milk.
  3. When cool enough to handle blend in a blender in batches or use a hand blender until smooth.
  4. For the caramelized nuts, in a medium fry pan melt the butter and add the sugar, stir until the sugar is dissolved. If you want a softer nut and to be more like a caramel add the tsp. of cream, stir to combine. Then add the nuts and the cayenne. Stir well to coat. Don't over cook the sauce as it will get too hard later. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and pour onto a cook sheets cover with waxed paper to cool.
  5. When cool, chop the nuts and add to the top of the soup along with a tsp. of cream (optional) and chives if using. Serve immediately.

    I always put apples and curry powder in my soup but I’m in love with this without even putting a spoon in it. The nuts on top are brilliant.
