Butternut And Turnip Soup Recipes

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND TURNIP GREEN SOUP

Steps:

• Combine butternut squash, reduced-sodium chicken broth, diced tomatoes, water, black beans, great northern beans, turnip greens, 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, sugar, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, and salt in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage and onion in the hot skillet until sausage is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add regular chicken broth and scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Pour the mixture into the soup pot.
• Reduce heat and simmer soup until squash and greens are tender, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND TURNIP SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the butternut squash, turnips, celery, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until the vegetables just begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the chicken stock in a large pot over medium heat until simmering.
• Transfer the vegetables to simmering stock, and add the bay leaf, honey, pepper, nutmeg, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt. Continue simmering until all the vegetables are softened, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

BUTTERNUT AND TURNIP SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter over medium heat, add onion and carrots and saute until soft.
• Add garlic and saute a few more minutes.
• Add a bit salt at each stage, then a little more if needed at the end. I use a total of 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt for the entire recipe.
• Add squash, turnip and bouillon, then just enough water to barely cover the veggies.
• Cover and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 minutes or until squash is tender.
• Select a pan to make the roux (white sauce). I use a large, wide pan, large enough to hold the roux plus the vegetable soup.
• Make the roux by sauteeing flour in butter til golden, then slowly stir in the milk or almond milk. Heat until thickened, stirring frequently, then turn off heat.
• Puree the vegetable soup in blender until smooth, then stir it into the thickened roux.
• Add the spices, salt and pepper to taste.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND TURNIP SOUP

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine water, stock, squash, turnips, chipotles, peppercorns, and bay leaves.
• Cook for 30-40 minutes on medium heat, until veggies are tender.
• When done, remove leaves and chipotles, and set aside to cool a bit.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, until melted. Add onions and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add parsley and mushrooms, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
• Combine cooked onion mixture with cooked squash mixture. Allow to cool.
• Using either a food processor or immersion blender, puree the mixture until it achieves a consistent texture. (If using a food processor, you will have to work in portions).
• Season as desired.
• This recipe can be served warm or cold. If served cold, add a dollop of light sour cream or plain yogurt.
