Gingery Butternut Soup

Nothing heats your soul when you are feeling the cold like a cup of pumpkin soup! Make this delicious soup using Just Fresh Ginger Juice.

Ingredients:

  • 2 butternut squash (about 4 3/4 pounds total), halved lengthwise, seeded
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups thinly sliced onion
  • 1 tablespoon golden brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Just Fresh Ginger Juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 5 cups (or more) canned low-salt chicken broth
  • Chopped fresh parsley

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Oil baking sheet. Place squash, cut side down, on baking sheet. Bake until squash is very soft, about 50 minutes. Using paring knife, remove peel from squash; discard peel. Cut squash into 2-inch pieces.
  2. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Mix in onion, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and cinnamon. Cover pot and cook until onion is tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Add squash and 5 cups chicken broth. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Discard cinnamon.
  4. Working in batches, purée soup in blender. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate.)
  5. Return soup to pot. Season soup with salt and pepper. Bring to simmer, thinning soup with more broth if necessary.
  6. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
