Hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid ingredients in liquids in a pot until the flavors are extracted, forming a broth. Soups are similar to stews, and in some cases there may not be a clear distinction between the two; however, soups generally have more liquid (broth) than stews.In traditional French cuisine, soups are classified into two main groups: clear soups and thick soups. The established French classifications of clear soups are bouillon and consomm\u00e9. Thick soups are classified depending upon the type of thickening agent used: pur\u00e9es are vegetable soups thickened with starch; bisques are made from pur\u00e9ed shellfish or vegetables thickened with cream; cream soups may be thickened with b\u00e9chamel sauce; and velout\u00e9s are thickened with eggs, butter, and cream. Other ingredients commonly used to thicken soups and broths include rice, lentils, flour, and grains; many popular soups also include pumpkin, carrots, potatoes, pig&#8217;s trotters and bird&#8217;s nests.Other types of soup include fruit soups, dessert soups, pulse soups like split pea, cold soups and other styles. <\/li>\n<li>Butternut Squash &#8211; Butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata), known in Australia and New Zealand as butternut pumpkin or gramma, is a type of winter squash that grows on a vine. It has a sweet, nutty taste similar to that of a pumpkin. It has tan-yellow skin and orange fleshy pulp with a compartment of seeds in the blossom end. When ripe, it turns increasingly deep orange, and becomes sweeter and richer. It is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium; and it is a source of vitamin A.Although botanically a fruit (specifically, a berry), butternut squash is used culinarily as a vegetable that can be roasted, saut\u00e9ed, toasted, pur\u00e9ed for soups such as squash soup, or mashed to be used in casseroles, breads, muffins, and pies. It is part of the same squash family as ponca, waltham, pumpkin, and calabaza. <\/li>\n<li>Main Dish <\/li>\n<li>Lunch &#8211; Lunch is a meal eaten around midday. During the 20th\u00a0century, the meaning gradually narrowed to a meal eaten midday. Lunch is commonly the second meal of the day, after breakfast. The meal varies in size depending on the culture, and significant variations exist in different areas of the world. <\/li>\n<li>Sauteing Recipes <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve outlined all the ingredients and directions for you to make the perfect Apple-Cheddar-Squash Soup.
