Russian Butternut Squash Soup Reciepe
by Olga, on February 18, 2014
Healthy, delicious and rich of flavors. Made with roasted squash and bacon to bring that extra flavor to the soup.
Wash butternut squash and cut it in half lengthwise, Discard seeds. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake it in the oven at 350F for about 35-40 minutes or until tender.
In a skillet with 1table spoon of oil, cook bacon for few minutes until is getting golden brown. Add more oil, if needed. Add diced vegetables (onion, celery and bell pepper) and cook another 8-10 minutes until tender.
Add to the pot with broth, cook for 10 minutes.
With help of a strainer transfer broth to the blender, to get rid of bacon with vegetables.
With a spoon scoop the squash from the peel, cut it smaller and add it to the broth.
Blend the soup.
When blended, transfer soup back to the pot and bring it to a boil on medium heat.
Season with salt, black pepper and chopped cilantro – if desired.
Serve the soup with the some parmesan cheese on top.

Hi, my name is Olga. I would like to welcome you to my site.
I created it first of all, to save my family’s recipes and then to share them with my friends and those who have tasted some Russian/Ukrainian food and liked it. But I also would like to introduce it to those who haven’t yet, but would like to.
I will try to keep my recipes simple, but there are few that might require more prep time or ingredients for preparation. You will also find some of my family’s favorite American recipes here and other international cuisines.
I thank you for visiting my site. I hope you will fall in love with Russian/Ukrainian food and will come back again.
