Ree Drummond decided to enhance the flavor of butternut squash soup by adding a few ingredients typical of Tex-Mex cuisine: ground chili pepper, cumin, and fresh jalapeño. Ree also shared a secret for freezing and storing this soup in case you decide to make it in advance.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp chili powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the squash and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeño and cook for another minute.

  3. Add the broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer until the squash is tender, about 15 minutes. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth.
  4. If serving immediately, ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese, cilantro, and pomegranate seeds.
  5. If freezing, let the soup cool completely, then pour into 3-4-liter bags and freeze. To serve, defrost the soup bag in the refrigerator, then reheat in a saucepan or microwave. Serve with sour cream, cheese, cilantro, and pomegranate seeds.
