Butternut Squash Soup with Sweet and Spicy Pecans
Makes: 6 servings
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
Ingredients
2 butternut squash (about 4 1/2 pounds), halved lengthwise, seeds removed
Salt and pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the squash cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with the melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake until brown on the edges and fork-tender at the thickest part, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 7 minutes.
Melt the brown sugar and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pecans, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the nuts are toasted, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
Scoop the squash flesh from the skins and add to the soup pot. Add the broth and milk and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture in the pot, over low heat, until smooth (or transfer in batches to a blender and puree). Serve in bowls, topped with the pecans.
As you waste your breath complaining about life, someone out there is breathing their last.
Appreciate what you have.
Be thankful and stop complaining.
Live more, complain less.
Have more smiles, less stress.
