Smokey Butternut Squash Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with a large sheet of aluminum foil.
• Toss butternut squash, shallot, 2 tablespoons canola oil, paprika, chili powder, chipotle powder, and ginger together in a bowl until evenly mixed and coated. Pour into prepared roasting pan and wrap aluminum foil around squash mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir reserved butternut squash seeds, pinch salt, and pinch ground black pepper in the skillet until lightly toasted, 5 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts leaves and cook, stirring occasionally, until leaves are slightly crispy and seeds are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir maple syrup into seed mixture and immediately remove from heat.
• Pour butternut squash mixture and almond milk into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until soup is smooth.
• Pour butternut squash soup into bowls and top with squash seeds and Brussels sprouts mixture, pomegranate seeds, and goat cheese.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large wide pot over medium heat. Add the cumin and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste, carrots and chipotles and cook, stirring, until the carrots brown, about 8 minutes.
• Increase the heat to high and stir in the potatoes and squash, making sure they are well coated. Season generously with salt and pepper and continue to cook until the potatoes begin to soften, about 5 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
• Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the potato and squash are tender, about 15 minutes. Carefully puree the soup in batches in a blender until smooth or with an immersion blender in the pot. Rewarm over medium heat and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Serve with a dusting of smoked paprika.
