BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH HERBES DE PROVENCE

Steps:

• Note Butternut squash should be peeled and seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Leeks use the white and green parts. You can use regular stock in place of the water and omit the veggie stock powder. Also note that it can be any type of stock powder. Chicken would work best. You can add up to 3 tsp sherry vinegar or balsamic vinegar If you like, stir in a tablespoon of basil or rosemary olive oil at the end for added flavor depth. I used basil.
• Finely chop squash. A food processor works well here. You should have 5 cups. Finely chop celery. Set aside with squash.
• Heat 2 tbsp of water and saute the leeks for 1 minutes. Note you can also use the basil olive oil for this if you are not keeping fat free. Saute the leeks for 1 minutes.
• Add the water and stock powder or add the stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in squash, celery, oats, Herbes de Provence and salt then return to boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook at gentle boil until squash is soft. About 15 minutes.
• Puree the soup with an immersion blender[I use the Phillips. works fine] or cool slightly and transfer in small batches to food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
• Stir in enough vinegar to heighten the flavors. Adjust salt if needed, and reheat if necessary. Garnish with the chives.
• From recipe "Cooking under pressure: After the initial sauté, cook all the ingredients in a pressure cooker for 4 minutes under high pressure. Use a quick-release method or allow the pressure to come down naturally. Proceed as directed in the recipe.".

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH FONTINA CHEESE CROSTINI

Steps:

• In an 8-quart stockpot, add the butter and oil and melt together over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the squash and the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the sage. Continue to boil until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth and thick. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep the soup warm over low heat.
• For the crostini: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sage. Sprinkle the cheese on top and season with salt, to taste. Bake until the cheese has melted and the bread is light golden, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the cheese crostini.
• Cook's Note: The cooked vegetable mixture can also be pureed (after cooling for about 5 minutes) by ladling, in batches, into a food processor or blender and blended until smooth.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH SPICED CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• To roast the squash, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• With a vegetable peeler, remove the skin from the squash. Carefully cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Place the squash on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast the squash until it is soft and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
• To make the soup, in a large soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter and then add the shallots, garlic, salt, white pepper, and spice purse. Cook until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the mixture is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the squash, sugar, stock, and cream. Cook until all of the flavors meld together, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the spice purse and season with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and licorice root.
• Puree the soup in a blender, being careful not to overload the blender with the hot soup. (Before turning on the machine, be sure the lid is tightly secured and covered with a towel to prevent the hot mixture from escaping.)
• Strain through a fine strainer and serve with Spiced Crème Fraîche.
