Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 pound frozen large shrimp (peeled and deveined), thawed 1 medium yellow onion, diced small 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves 1/2 large butternut squash 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth Coarse salt 1/4 cup sour cream Fried sage leaves (optional), for serving
Directions
Cut the squash into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium. Add shrimp and cook until opaque throughout, 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate; cover with foil.
Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon butter, onion, and chopped sage; cook until onion is softened, 8 minutes. Add squash, cayenne, and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until squash is tender, 20 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer half the mixture to a blender. Add sour cream and puree until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Return to pot along with shrimp; stir to combine. To serve, divide soup among four bowls; top with fried sage leaves, if desired.
Cook’s Notes Delicately crunchy fried sage is an easy finishing touch for this soup, as well as sweet potatoes, white beans, and pasta with butter and Parmesan. Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a medium pot over high until shimmering. Add sage leaves, 2 to 3 at a time, and fry until crisp, 10 to 12 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Store in an airtight container, up to 2 days.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/11/2018 I have been using this recipe as a base for my squash soup ever since it was published in Eating Well. I love the cayenne pepper because to brightens the soup, yet warms the end taste. I don't use quite as much because at the time my children were young. But now, I use full strength. And since I am allergic to shrimp (and only shrimp), I use bay scallops. My family goes crazy for it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/10/2015 I'm serving it cold. Think it will work? Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/03/2013 I've been making this soup and variations of it for the past year. This soup is delicious and savory, always a crowd pleaser. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/09/2011 This soup was absolutely delicious. Easy to prepare. Everyone wanted seconds. I plan on serving this soup on a regular basis, but I will need to make a double batch.Martha Stewart Member
