Bear Mountain Butternut Soup With Cinnamon Croutons Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Prepare Cinnamon Croutons:
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In bowl, toss melted margarine or butter, cinnamon and salt with bread cubes. Spread bread cubes in 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly roll pan; bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
  • Soup:
  • Cut off root end from leek. Cut leek lenghtwise in half; rinse with cold running water. Coarsely chop white and pale-green part of leek; discard tough dark-green part.
  • In 5-quart Dutch oven or saucepot, melt margarine or butter over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onion, and leek and cook until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add squash, chicken broth, salt, and 2 1/4 C water; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes until squash is very tender.
  • In blender (with center part of cover removed to allow steam to escape), blend squash mixture at low speed in small batches until very smooth.
  • Return squash mixture to Dutch oven; stir in half and half. Heat soup over medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve with Cinnamon Croutons.

    Cinnamon croutons with salt sounded YUCK but were TERRIFIC!! YUM YUM! The soup was delicious. However, peeling a Butternut squash was like trying to peel a pumpkin and cut it into 1 inch pieces. I wonder if there isn't an easier way such as baking the squash first. My first crack at this recipe turned out a rather thick soup. Next time I'll add a little more chicken broth. Very good. Will make it again.

    The cinnamon croutons would be good with an apple-butternut soup as well! Good post!
