Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 cups chicken stock
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped onions
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 3/4 pound smoked sausage, such as kielbasa, cut into 1/4-inch
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1 1/2 cups half and half
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season the squash with 1 tablespoon of the oil, salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Peel and seed the squash. In a blender, puree the squash with 2 cups of the chicken stock. Puree until smooth and set aside. In a saucepan, over medium heat, bring 4 cups of the stock and 1/2 cup of the chopped onions to a simmer. Stir in the rice and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally with a fork. Remove the rice from the pan and cool. In a large saucepan, over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the sausage and brown for 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups onions and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 3 minutes. Add the remaining 6 cups of stock and squash puree. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Skim off any fat that rises to the surface. Stir in the rice and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the cream and reason with salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley and serve.

    I love the flavor...but I wish I read the reviews before making this. I would have cut down the chicken stock also. I will make it again and fool around with how much stock goes in. But it is very good.

    This was very tasty. I had most of the ingredients on hand. To make it faster I cooked a wild rice and brown rice mix (30 min while the precut butternut squash roasted (30 min. I used canned cream of corn. It didn't take long at all and was very good!

    After making this soup, my first thoughts the next morning were, "How soon can I have it again?" - it was that good! I didn't realize the "cook time" and am thinking how can I speed this up for a weeknight dinner: 1 roast and puree the squash and refrig, 2 cook the rice and refrig. I used frozen corn and chicken/apple sausage and skipped the third addition of salt (after tasting it. I also cut the recipe in half for our family of four.
    OMG: How soon can I have this soup again?
