Squash, Clementine, and Ginger soup
Easy, Fast, Versatile Squash soup recipe.
Nothing says Fall like a comforting, hot, velvety smooth, and creamy bowl of soup. Maybe eating that said soup wrapped in a big cashmere blanket watching a good Netflix movie? Is it only me? Anyhow, as Autumn season is here to stay, feeling the winter months lurking on the horizon, I like to ramp up my soup/salad ratio. More soups, still a lot of salads. Every Fall, the farmer’s markets are overflowing with so many varieties, shapes, and sizes of Pumpkins and Squashes. The choices are endless, and so many ways to use them in the kitchen. One of my favorites I tend to gravitate to is the Hubbard squash, a beautiful Vert de Gris shade on the outside and its firm, not too sweet flesh on the inside.

For a basic recipe, I like to combine the squash with sweet potato for a little more sweetness, some onions, and a few cloves of garlic as a base to a soup that I can quickly transform with the desired perfume I want that day. For this recipe, I added clementine and ginger juice for extra vibrancy and vitamin C to help support our immune system for the colder months. Another seasoning I like for this soup is adding coconut milk, some Muchi Curry powder for extra flavor and heat, and a sprinkle of dried coconut flakes on top. Bonus, this soup freeze well in small individual portion for a quick defrost and last-minute meal. Enjoy! | |
Squash, Clementine, and Ginger soup
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped, about 2 Cups
- ½ Tsp Sea salt
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ (1.5kg) a large Hubbard squash peeled and cut into 1″ pieces, about 4 Cups
- 1 large, sweet potato cut into 1″ pieces, about 3 Cups
- ½ Tbsp Turmeric powder
- 4 Cups/ 1 Liter Organic Chicken broth or Plain Water
- ½ Cup/118ml clementine juice
- 1 ½ Tsp ginger juice (or 1 Tsp minced ginger)
Preparation
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium low heat. Add the onion, garlic, and salt and cook for a few minutes or until the onions are translucent.
- Add the squash and sweet potato and cook for a few more minutes, occasionally stirring to coat the veggies with the oil.
- Pour in the broth, bring to a boil and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the squash and sweet potato are tender for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, let cool slightly and pour the soup into a high-speed blender. Work in a few batches and blend until velvety smooth.
- Pour back in the pot on low heat and add the clementine and ginger juice to the soup. Leave for 5 more minutes, mix well, adjust the salt and ginger juice to taste, then remove from the heat.
- Serve in shallow bowls, add a slice of clementine, sprinkle some orange perfumed coarse salt and chili flakes.
Notes & Tips
Yield 8 Cups/2 Liters
Not always easy to peel and cut, squash and pumpkin can be a challenge. My mother told me to try a melon ball scoop. Great idea!
It was still some work, but much easier, more fun, and the perfect size. Thanks, Mom!
If you don’t find clementine, no worries, you can substitute for any oranges, but I do like the sweetness the clementine juice brings to the recipe.
