Vegetarian Squash And Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, nutmeg, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add the butternut squash and simmer until the potatoes and squash are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
• Stir in the cream and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency with water and seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
• Serve hot drizzled with more cream if using and a sprinkled with pepitas and thyme.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with olive oil.
• Place butternut squash and sweet potato cut-sides down on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• While squash and potato are cooking, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and fresh sage and cook until garlic is browned and sage is crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove sage to a paper-towel lined plate. Transfer garlic to a blender.
• Scoop out the flesh of the butternut squash and potato using a spoon and transfer to the blender with garlic. Discard squash and potato skins. Add maple syrup and 1 cup vegetable broth to the blender and process until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Strain through a sieve to remove any lumps and transfer into a large pot. Add remaining 3 cups vegetable broth, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, 1 tablespoon thyme, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with pepper and sprinkle with crushed sage leaves.

Steps:

• In large saucepan melt butter over low heat.
• Cover and cook onion 3 to 5 minutes or until soft.
• Stir in potatoes and squash coating evenly.
• Pour in stock; cover and bring to boil over high heat.
• Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or until veggies are tender.
• Remove from heat.
• Mash veggies lightly to thicken soup but do not puree.
• Stir in spinach, green onions, pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F / 190C.
• Cut the sweet potato, squash and shallot in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides with oil.
• Put the vegetables, cut sides down in a shallow roasting pan with the garlic cloves.
• Roast in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes until tender and light brown.
• When cool, scoop the flesh from the potatoe and squash halves and put in a pan with the shallots. Remove the garlic peel and add the soft insides to the other vegetables.
• Add the broth and a pinch of salt.
• Bring to just a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender (about 30 minutes.).
• Let the soup cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth (working in batches if necessary).
• Return the soup to the pan and stir in the cream.
• Season to taste and simmer for 5-10 minutes until completely heated through.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a deep skillet. Add onion and saute over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add pumpkin, butternut squash, carrots, parsnip, and turnip. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally.
• Add thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley, and bay leaves to the pot, tucking the sprigs down into the vegetables so they can release their oils. Add garlic and continue to stir occasionally. Be careful not to let the garlic burn. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
• Heat vegetable stock in a separate pot. Add all the vegetables from the skillet. Check seasoning and adjust if necessary. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Retrieve all herb sprigs. Serve as is or allow soup to cool and blend in a blender to desired consistency.
