Of all the recipes I tried from September’s Everyday Food, this one was my favorite. I made it last week, and I’m planning to make it again this week. Hope you like it. Incidentally, the picture is from Martha, not me.
Corn and Butternut Squash Chowder
- 2 T. vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 5 cups)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 box (10 ounces) frozen corn, thawed (or I used a can of corn)
- 1 1/2 t. curry powder
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) vegetable broth
- 1/2 c. heavy cream
In a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high; add squash and onion. Cook until onion is soft, about 6 minutes. Add corn and curry powder; cook until curry is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add broth and simmer until squash is tender, about 25 minutes. In a blender, blend half the soup until smooth. Return to pot and stir in cream; heat through over medium-low (do not boil).

Natalie, do you think that you could replace the heavy cream with something lower fat and it would still work? It sounds delish.

I’ve tried replacing cream with milk before, and I almost prefer to just leave it out–the soup is still really good, just not as creamy (obviously). But, if you puree it well, it still has a great texture. If you’re interested in substituting the cream, I think both half & half or evaporated milk might be the best options. Tell me how it works!

I’m excited to try this recipe. I have been looking for a good butternut squash soup for ages and been disappointed in the recipes I’ve tried. Hopefully this will be the winner!

I made this last night and I did use my immersion blender which makes it pretty slick. So easy and it’s fabulous! Thanks for posting.
