Miso Butternut Squash & Turmeric Soup
Cozying up to this miso butternut squash and turmeric soup! I made a homemade dashi broth and used fresh turmeric to make this come to life.ย
Ingredients
- 4 slices of kombu
- 6 cups water, this will reduce to 4 cups
- 1/2 cup bonito flakes
- 1 tablespoon white miso
- 1 thumb fresh turmeric, minced, or grated
- 1 thumb fresh ginger, minced, or grated
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed into bite-sized pieces
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small shallot, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 yukon gold potato, cubed
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes, optional
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add 6 cups of water to a pot to begin your dashi broth. Soak your kombu on medium low heat. Once it gets soft, bring to a boil. Remove kombu. Add your bonito flakes and when they go to the bottom of the pot, drain. Set your broth aside.
- In a deep pot or dutch oven, sweat our your onions, Japanese blend, shallot and garlic clove. Add in your potatoes. Stir in salt, pepper and your turmeric, chili flakes, ginger and miso. Let everything melt and come together.
- Next add your butternut squash and stir. Once all the flavors are throughout this, add your homemade dashi broth. Let your soup simmer on medium-low until all your vegetables are fork tender. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
