CruiseIsGood Posted June 26, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I read Jamie Oliver's pumpkin soup recipe and realized that in Europe, butternut squash is called butternut pumpkin. He used butternut squash. I made Carnival's soup with roasted butternut squash and it was perfect. 8 and 3/4 c. chicken stock (I used vegetable for a vegetarian friend) 1 c. onion quarters 2/3 c. leeks, in chunks 2 cloves garlic 3 T olive oil 1 1/2 c. half and half 1/4 c. heavy cream 1 T. chicken base (vegetable) 1 butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into chunks salt to taste 1 T black pepper Roast onions, leeks, garlic cloves and squash with olive oil in a preheated oven at 400 for 30-45 minutes. Puree. Bring stock pureed vegetables and chicken base to a boil. Simmer for 45 minutes. Add half and half and simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Finish with cream.

Jane110 Posted June 28, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Thanks for the recipe. Looks good. I love creamed soups but hate the fat. I now use canned, condensed nonfat milk in soups instead. It's as thick as half & half and has no fat. In soup, you can't tell the difference! Just a thought if you're trying to cut down on fats.

CruiseIsGood Posted October 5, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted October 5, 2005 This soup rules. I've been feeding our vegetarian gardner/caretaker for 10 years and this is the only recipe he's ever asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaytez Posted October 5, 2005 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I tried this soup as soon as I saw it on the menu (due to the suggestions of these boards). LOVED IT! Hope to try making it myself. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinpaige Posted October 5, 2005 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I am passionate about this soup. Sometimes I order 4 bowls and skip everything else that night at dinner!! I purcahsed the carnival cookbook that has this recipe in it and (after cutting it down from serves 100 to serves 20) I made it and served it last Thanksgiving at my house. I had 18 guests including two from Peru and one from Guatemala and everyone LOVED it. I normally de-fat and otherwise change recipes to be healthier but this one is just to good to mess with, so I made it with all the naughty stuff it called for. I did however use canned pumpkin puree (obviously not pie filling but it can be found in the pie filling section). I love butternut squash too but I have to stick with the original for this is truly one of my favorite foods. Added benefit--it brings me back to one of my favorite places--tha Carnival Dining Room! Ahh thanks for talking about my fave soup in the world!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Snowflake Posted November 18, 2005 #7 Share Posted November 18, 2005 OMG That Pumpkin Soup recipe sounds scrumptious, thanks so much for sharing it. I am definitely going to make it, and it's perfect soup weather these days now too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
