Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

	Flowerfarmer / All my dishes 2 years, 1 month ago I serve this Soup every Autum on one of the colder October days after we have harvested all the squash from the field. My whole family loves this. It takes some prep time and about an hour cooking but well worth the effort! Prep:2025m Cook:70m Servings:20	Flowerfarme

Ingredients

6 butternut squash

4 stalks celery

3 sweet onions ( I use Pennsylvania Simply Sweets)

1 leek

1 1/2 gallons chicken broth or base

2 Tbl. olive oil

2 Cups Real Maple syrup

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 Tbls. ground sage

1 tsp. gr. cloves

1 Cup butter, melted

2 C. Flour

2 C. cream ( I used ff 1/2 & 1/2)

salt & pepper to taste

Chutney base: 1 C. water

1/2 C. sugar

1Tbls. brandy

1 shallot, chopped

1 Tbls. vinegar

3 apples, diced

2 pears, diced

3 cinnamon sticks

1 jar chutney (optional)

Directions

Soup: Peel butternuts and cut into 2 inch pieces.

Chop celery, onions and leek.

Saute in large pot.

When hot, saute all vegetables including squash for at least 10 minutes.

Stir vegetables while adding chicken broth or base.

Add maple syrup, cinnamon, sage & cloves.

Cook for about 45 minutes on low heat till squash and vegetables are soft.

While soup is reducing, put melted butter in a saute pan and slowly add flout until it becomes a thick past ( called Toux).

Stir with a whisk to keep from burning.

Add the Rouz slowly to the soup, as much as needed to give consistency.

Let it coo with the soup for 8 - 10 minutes.

Using a hand held mixer, blend soup.

Add cream last.

Salt & pepper to taste.

Strain (I don't) and serve soup with the chutney.

Chutney Base

Using a saute pan, cook water and sugar until it becomes like carmel.

Add brandy, chopped shallots and vinegar.

Add diced apples and pears.

Cook for 20 minutes, until apples and pears are soft.

Add cinnamon sticks.

Cool and add the jar of chutney to the base. (optional)
