Directions Curried Acorn Squash Bisque
Directions
-
Place squash into a large pot and cover with salted water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.
Combine flour, curry powder, ginger, and brown sugar in a small bowl, mix loosely to combine.
Melt 1/2 of the butter in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, carrot, and garlic, saute for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup whipping cream, remaining butter, olive oil, vinegar, and bouillon cube. Add flour mixture, cook and slowly stir for 15 seconds, then reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Cover with a lid and cook until veggies are cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Add cooked squash on top of the veggies, and season generously with salt and pepper, do not stir. Cover and cook until squash is heated through, about 1 minute.
Fill blender halfway with squash mixture. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder, pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until mostly smooth. Pour into a pot. Repeat with remaining squash mixture.
Reheat soup if needed. Put into a large serving bowl or separate serving dishes, garnish with cilantro, and drizzle with cream.
