澳洲南瓜湯 (Butternut Squash Soup)

DSC01794

Butternut Squash是盛產於澳洲及新西蘭的一種南瓜,但中文翻譯就有好幾個名字(台灣也有兩個名 : 奶油瓜或冬南瓜),比我們平常吃的南瓜除了外型不是㘣形外,其甜味是比較清香的,煮後也不是好像平時的泥狀;在香港超市買到的大多數是澳洲進口的,因此在這個blog稱為「澳洲南瓜」吧。

今次這個南瓜湯有別於南瓜濃湯,做法沒有那麼復雜的。買不到也可以用一般圓形的南瓜代替的。

材料(ingredients) {2人份量 [for 2 person]}:

澳洲南瓜 (Butternut Squash)-300g
蒜頭(garlic)-2瓣 (2 cloves)
西芹(celery)-1條 (1 stick)
紅蘿蔔(carrots) (最好選擇細小的品種) -1個
紅洋蔥(red onion) -半個 (half)
迷迭香 (Rosemary) -2條 (2 sprigs) [沒有新鮮可用乾的]
鼠尾草 (Sage leaves)-4片
雞湯 (chicken stock)-1公升(1 Litre)
鹽(salt)
黑胡椒碎 (ground black pepper)
橄欖油(olive oil)
紅辣椒 (Red Chilli)-Optional

5. 30分鐘後,檢查南瓜是否軟身及熟透;
after 30 minutes, check the butternut square is cooked throughly and soft.

6. 最後用電動手提式攪拌機,均勻地把湯內的材料打蓉至平滑,試味,完成。
use a hand blend pulse it until you have a smooth puree, taste it, finished.

小建議 (Tips) :

可以加上一片法包,先將巴馬臣芝士刨滿法包兩面,用手把芝士按在包上,用以前煮鼠尾草的橄欖油,開最小的火,把法包放在平底鑊,烘至少少金黃色。然後把做好的法包放入碗底,放入南瓜湯,用炒過的鼠尾草放上湯面,更有風味。
You can add a piece of baguette or ciabatta, put some parmesan cheese in both sides of breads, just press a little bit, put it into the saucepan that with sage olive oil and toast until little brown colour, put the toasted breads at the bottom of the bowl, soup in and put the fried sage leaves at the top for more tasty.
