ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

 love everything about this time of year! I love the model (the scarfs, gloves and hats), I love the exterior (the red and orange falling leaves and the snow-capped mountains), and I love all of the seasonal vegetables and contemporary herbs.

Pumpkins, squash, yams, thyme, rosemary and sage…. Need I say more? If I might provide the holidays a “taste”, a spoon of this roasted butternut squash soup would quite rather a great deal be that “taste”.

INGREDIENTS 1 huge butternut squash 2 carrots 3 stalks of celery 1 huge onion 5 cloves of garlic 6 sage leaves 6 sprigs of thyme 1 sprig of rosemary 1/4 teaspoon cayenne red pepper powder (or less, in the event you don't desire a bit bit kick) salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoon olive oil 3 and 1/2 cups vegetable stock INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 350 F. Peel, pit and chop the butternut squash into 1 inch squares. Add to a huge roasting pan. Chop the carrots, celery and onions in big chunks and upload to the pan. Peel the garlic and upload cloves entire or halved. Add the herbs (easier to puree later if stems are removed), red pepper powder, salt and pepper. Add olive oil and toss to coat. Roast for 1 hour till veggies are sleek and tender (check the carrots in particular). If veggies are usually no longer soft, cook dinner for one other 15 minutes. Transfer cooked vegetables to meals processor (or blender) with 1 cup of vegetable inventory and puree till sleek and creamy, or till wanted consistency is reached. You might ought to do that in a pair batches. Note: If stems are nonetheless at the herbs, take away  earlier than pureeing as they don't job very nicely (particularly the thyme) Pour combination right into a huge saucepan. Add the last vegetable inventory and stir well. Simmer on low for 10 minutes. If the consistency of the soup is simply too thick, simply thin it out with a few water till you attain your wanted consistency. Garnish with extra contemporary herbs (optional) and serve! NOTES This soup will get a bit bit kick from the red pepper powder. If you're antagonistic to a bit bit spice, I would suggest which you just upload a lot less red pepper powder and as soon as the soup has been pureed, upload extra as wanted to taste. If the consistency is simply too thick, simply thin it out with a few water till you attain your wanted consistency. This recipe yields a huge pot of soup. If you can’t end it all, freeze it!

This soup will get a few sweetness from the carrots, and it’s got a chew from the cayenne powder, and it’s simply all round relief food… with out the guilt! That’s right, this soup is tremendous healthy. It’s vegan, gluten-free and entire 3o compliant. Which also capability that there isn't any cream, no milk, no butter!! Yet this soup has a actually creamy and sleek texture from the butternut squash. You actually can’t get any more healthy than that!

I hosted Thanksgiving at my residence this yr and one in all our friends was allergic to dairy. So, I needed to come as a lot as with choice recipes to my standard dishes, adding the roast turkey (doused in butter), creamy mashed potatoes (full of dairy goodness) and butternut squash soup. For the soup, I decided to attempt to make it with out the butter and cream and see what happens. Well, what occurred was a miracle! The soup became out fully delicious, if no longer tastier! So it's no joke that here is my ideal seen recipe at the blog!

This soup is tremendous basic to make. All you ought to do is literally throw your meals right into a roasting pan, allow the oven do it’s work, puree and serve. Yes, it's that easy. Don’t trust me? Watch the recipe video underneath for a demonstration!
