A hearty, delicious, creamy soup created from fresh butternut squash, skin and seeds included... paired with fresh kale, this soup is an extremely healthy, yet delicious appetizer dish.
Ingredients
- 1/2 large butternut squash, washed, skin on, and seeds intact, in one piece... shopping list
- ***SEE NOTE please shopping list
- 2 cups (approximately 20 leaves) of fresh kale shopping list
- 1 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 tsp black pepper shopping list
- 2 tbsp dehydrated onion, or 1/2 medium onion, raw shopping list
- 3 cups water shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock shopping list
- 1 tbsp honey shopping list
- 1/2 tsp vanilla shopping list
- ***SEE NOTE please shopping list
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or half n'half cream shopping list
How to make it
- Cook the uncut half of the squash slowly in the water, ensuring you use the section which contains the seeds
- Cook until squash is tender, and breaks apart easily with a knife.
- turn the squash as it cooks for even softening
- add the onion, chicken stock, salt & pepper, honey, and vanilla
- break the kale into small pieces, and add to the pot
- cook until the squash is fall-apart tender, and the kale is well wilted
- puree the mixture well with an immersion blender so all skin and seeds are crushed
- add the cream to the soup slowly, and combine well
- ENJOY! :+D
- NOTE:
- This soup was done on my BBQ side burner.
- The reason I cooked the squash in one chunk was to slowly infuse its flavor into the water.
- The reason I added the vanilla was to enhance the natural flavors of the soup ingredients. The small amount of vanilla used does not impart any vanilla flavor to the finished dish.
