Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Butternut Squash and Turnip Green Soup.
Step 1
To create a delicious and hearty butternut squash soup, start by grabbing a large pot and combining your chopped butternut squash with reduced-sodium chicken broth, undrained diced tomatoes, water, black beans, great northern beans, and turnip greens.
Step 2
Drizzle in 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle in some sugar, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Stir everything together and bring this vibrant mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, letting the aromas fill your kitchen.
Step 4
While the soup is heating up, take a large skillet and warm the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Toss in the sliced sausage and chopped onion, cooking them together until the sausage is beautifully browned and crumbly, and the onion turns a lovely translucent shade—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 6
Once they’re ready, pour this savory sausage and onion blend into your bubbling soup pot, adding in the regular chicken broth as well.
Step 7
Give it a good stir to combine all those wonderful flavors, making sure to scrape up any tasty browned bits from the skillet.
Step 8
Now, reduce the heat to low and let your soup simmer gently for about 45 minutes, allowing the butternut squash and turnip greens to become tender and flavorful.
Step 9
Before serving, taste your creation and adjust the seasoning with a little extra salt and ground black pepper if needed.
Step 10
Enjoy this comforting bowl of goodness, perfect for warming up on a chilly day!.
