SUMMARY:Make Roasted Butternut Squash Soupto Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Alexa to make a Roasted Butternut Squash Soup (based on this recipe from Dr. Vegan.) After completing your soup\, freeze and label it for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers\, with a person or family that is in your heart\, or anyplace that you prefer\, when convenient. Finally\, report on where you shared your KindSoup and spread the word: Post a picture or two of you and your soups on social media with #DoKindWorks and tag us @DoKindWorks. \nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nRoasted Butternut Squash Soup\n\n\n\nIngredients\n\n3 small to medium-sized Butternut Squash\n21 fl oz Coconut Milk\n3-6 Red Onions\n6 Carrots\n3-6 Bell Peppers\n3-6 heads of Garlic\n6 Tomatoes or 3 cups of Cherry Tomatoes\n4.5 cups Vegetable Broth\n3 tsp Fresh Ginger optional; grated\nOlive Oil enough to drizzle over vegetables\nFresh Cilantro for garnish\n\nSeasoning: \n\n3 tsp Black Pepper\n3 tsp Ground Cumin\n3 tsp Paprika\n3 tsp Dried Thyme\n3 tsp Dried Rosemary\n3 tsp Chili Oil\n\nInstructions\n\n\nPreheat the Oven: Set your oven to 390°F (200°C).\nPrepare the Vegetables: You can either peel and chop the butternut squash\, or\, like I do in the video\, simply cut the squash in half for roasting. Note: Halving the squash will require a longer roasting time\, while chopping the vegetables smaller will speed up the cooking process.\nSeason the Vegetables: Add the seasonings (pepper\, cumin\, paprika\, thyme\, rosemary\, and chili flakes) to the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. If halving the squash\, drizzle olive oil on the exposed flesh. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.\nRoasting: Roast for about 1 1/2 hours\, or until the vegetables are golden and soft inside. If you’ve chopped the vegetables smaller\, the roasting time can be reduced. If you’ve halved the butternut squash\, expect a longer roasting time. For the last 10 minutes\, remove the aluminum foil to allow the vegetables to caramelize slightly.\nBlending: Once roasted\, scoop out the flesh of the butternut squash (if halved) and transfer all the vegetables to a blender. Add the vegetable broth and ginger (if using)\, and blend until smooth and creamy.\nCooking the Soup: Pour the blended mixture into a pot and place it on medium heat. Stir in the coconut milk and cook for about 2 minutes\, allowing everything to warm through.\nFinal Touch: Adjust the seasonings to your taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro\, a drizzle of coconut milk\, and a pinch of chili flakes or some chili oil if desired.\n\n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nHow to Donate Your KindSoup\nSeal containers with a tight lid and freeze.
