Squash Soup With Horseradish Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Put olive oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, add onion, celery and leek, stir to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring, until onion has softened and just begun to brown. Add garlic, tomato paste, paprika, caraway, bay leaf and thyme, and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
• Add potatoes, beets and carrots, 6 cups water and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a brisk simmer. Simmer with lid ajar for 20 minutes, or until potatoes, beets and carrots are fork tender.
• Add kale and vinegar, and stir to distribute. Taste broth and adjust seasoning. Simmer until kale is done, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the horseradish cream: Put horseradish, lemon juice, salt and sugar in a small bowl. Let macerate 5 minutes, then stir in crème fraîche.
• To serve, ladle into soup bowls, and garnish with chopped dill, parsley, tarragon and chives. Pass the horseradish cream at the table.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place the squash, cut sides down, in a baking dish. Add 1/8 inch water in baking dish, cover with foil and bake 35-40 minutes or until tender. Cool.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add onion and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until onion is softened but not brown.
• Scrape the squash out of the flesh and add to onions. Add the stock and heavy cream. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
• Puree the soup in a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Peel the squash and remove the seeds and chop.
• Peel, core and chop the apple.
• Heat the butter in a large pan.
• Add onions and cook, stirring constantly for approximately 5 minutes until soft.
• Stir in curry powder. Continue cooking to bring out the flavor, stirring constantly (about 2 minutes).
• Add the stock, squash, apple and sage.
• Bring to boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until squash and apples are soft.
• Meanwhile, make the horseradish cream. Whip the cream in a bowl until stiff, then stir in the horseradish sauce and curry powder. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until needed.
• Puree the soup in a blender or food processor.
• Return to the clean pan and add the apple juice.
• Season to taste.
• Reheat gently, without boiling.
• Serve in bowls topped with horseradish cream and a dusting of curry powder.
• Optional: Garnish with shredded lime rind.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel the beetroot and cut each into 8 wedges. Cut the onions and butternut squash into roughly the same size. Spread out in a large roasting tin. Mix the vinegar and sugar until dissolved, then whisk in the oil. Pour over the vegetables, toss and roast for 40-45 mins until charred and soft, stirring halfway through cooking.
• To make the horseradish cream, mix together the soured cream, horseradish, lemon juice and some seasoning.
• To serve, put the roasted veg in a large bowl or on a platter, followed by the watercress, then drizzle over the horseradish cream. Serve warm or cold.
