Subj : Fall Dinners - 09 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Thu Nov 17 2022 10:52:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Butternut Squash Soup Categories: Squash, Vegetables, Herbs Yield: 4 servings 2 1/2 lb Butternut squash; halved - lengthwise, seeded 2 tb Olive oil; more to drizzle Salt 1 md White onion; sliced 4 cl Garlic; smashed, peeled 1/2 ts Ground ginger 1/4 ts Fresh ground black pepper; - more to sprinkle 1/4 ts Ground cinnamon 1/8 ts Ground nutmeg 4 c Vegetable stock 1 tb Unseasoned rice vinegar 1 tb Honey or dark brown sugar - (opt) Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC. Rub the flesh of the squash with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt. Place the squash cut sides up on a small baking sheet, and cover tightly with foil. Bake until the flesh is tender and a knife can be inserted easily, about 50 minutes. In a large stock pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and just beginning to brown around the edges, about 8 minutes. Scoop out the cooked squash with a spoon and add to the pot. Add the ginger, black pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the vegetable stock, stir and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using an immersion blender or working in batches in a standard blender, purée the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and add the rice vinegar. Taste and add the honey or dark brown sugar if you’d like the soup sweeter, and add more salt if you’d like. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve. Divide the soup among bowls, drizzle with additional olive oil and finish with an extra sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
