I had butternut squash soup at Cafe K several years ago, & since then I've tried a few different recipes in the hopes of replicating that one. All the ones I tried were good, but not spectacular, so I'd love to hear someone's tried and true recipe.

there's a really good organic one that they sell in a carton, but I too would love to make one

I've always wanted to try those soups, but never actually did. You've inspired me to try it now though, avimom. Very Happy

never tried it milky

I got an excellent one from the mishpacha once - I don't have it with me, might remember to bring it with to work

however I have found that simpler recipes are often equally tasty.

basically I usually saute an onion, add 1-2 sweet potatoes, chopped, and 1 medium butternut squash

add water and boil one two hours

add spices along the way, I add a little nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon... (salt and pepper!!))

these add a fantastic flavour

blend it up with an immersion blender - creamy, tasty, hearty and definitely competes with the restaurants!!

I like to roast the butternut squash....first cut up put in bowl with olive oil mix till covered add salt and pepper and some brown sugar add peeled green apples and onions coat with oil and spice place on backing sheet roast off in oven....pust in soup pot add water and chicken stock or vege stock salt and peper bring to a boil taste seee if it needs salt and pepper I usally add some nut meg here let simmer for an hour add salt and pepper to taste then I put it in a blender to puree enjoy...

I add the apples because they are tart and it will help balance out the sweetness from the squash u can also add cinnamon if you like instead of nutmeg

Oh, just figured out from the other thread that you didn't mean bean soup Embarassed

Don't know about cans, but you can get the containers in Moishes.

Here's the one from Binah. I make it almost every week. We love it!
Citrus Butternut Squash Soup
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 large leek (white parts only), chopped
1 two-inch piece ginger, grated (I use 4-5 of the frozen cubes)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 butternut squash, cut into chunks
1/2 c. fresh orange juice
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp pepper

Heat olive oil in large pot. Saute leek, ginger and garlic. Cook slowly so leek softens but doesn't brown. Add squash. Cook 5 minutes more.

Add 4-5 cups water, OJ, salt and pepper. Cook for 30 minutes on med-high heat. When squash is soft, blend with immersion blender.

Tip: Serve with garlic croutons or pine nuts or pumpkin seeds and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper

(**My comments: I used to but now never bother sauteeing everything first, I just throw everything in and it tastes the same. It freezes well and is delicious!)
