I know that we already have a butternut squash soup recipe. But this one is low fat, so I thought I'd add it for those who might be interested. And besides, this one couldn't be easier. I roasted the squash that was already pre-cut anyway because I think roasting adds a nice flavor and then I don't have to watch to make sure the squash has cooked all the way through. But that's the only thing I changed. Yum.
Ingredients:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 pound butternut squash (about half a medium squash), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 ripe medium Bartlett pears, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 1/2 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
Preparation:
Heat
oil on medium heat in Dutch oven or soup pot. Gently sauté onions until
softened—about 5 minutes. Add curry powder and stir, sautéing for 1
minute. Add butternut squash and pear pieces. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and
simmer for 20 minutes until squash and pear are tender. Transfer soup
to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth, working in two
batches if necessary.
