Anyone have the recipe for that delicious Butternut Squash soup they serve at Boma's in AKL? We had it there last Thanksgiving. It was so good.

I just made this soup today! It's the sweet version, and it's very yummy!! My kids are trick-or-treating tonight, and it's very cold out, so I figure it will be a nice, warm treat for us!

It wasn't hard to make, either!

If you ever get the chance, make sure you get to Boma! It's this family's favorite restaurant on the planet!!

There's a lot more flavor to things than what I was used to having - not spicy...just flavorful!

 

[cryssi]

thanks! I want to the next time we go to wdw...(who knows when that will be )

 

[cryssi]

ok, now I know that I HAVE to go check out Boma...

that soup is *WOW* !!!!! I was skeptical about the american cheese, but it is the ingredient that really pulls it all together. Oops, forgot the coriander...LOL

thanks!!!

how much soup did the fall recipe make? Would this be a good soup to take to work for a pot luck? I was thinking of making it the night before and taking it in a crockpot.

Thanks

 

[cryssi]

I would at least double the recipe for a potluck...

 

[ADisneygirl]

Yes, double the recipe. It is very delicious!


Oh, and as a side note, I bought a package of that new Campbell's Select soups, the ones in a little fancy box -- Butternut Squash to try. It was terrible! Blech. Make the recipe yourself for the real deal.

Wow!! found this recipe from a while back but I have a question about this recipe...

the first recipe calls for a curry paste?? Is this something I can get in my local supermarket?? Can I make it with out it or just add regular curry to this dish??

I have Boma's recipe for curry paste from another recipe - their Coconut Curry Sauce for chicken or pork. They sent it with the recipe for Cured Pork Loin. (Both are excellent by the way! )

As was typical for when Boma first opened, the amounts given make LARGE quantities. I know it says it will keep in the refrigerator for a week, but I STILL wouldn't use that much that quickly. Cutting the amounts to 1/4 of what was given would make it VERY difficult to prepare & simmer for an hour I'd think. So what I've been doing is to measure out the dry ingredients & store them in an airtight container. Then when I need curry paste I've used just the dry ingredients in the amount stated & tried to eyeball the appropriate amounts of red pepper, garlic & ginger. It's not the same because I skip the simmering, but the general flavor is there.

Curry Paste
Boma, AKL

¼ c Olive Oil
¼ lb Red Pepper (~ ¾ cup since 1 cup = 5 ounces)
¼ c Fresh Ginger Root
¼ c Garlic Cloves
1 Tbl Ground Turmeric
1 Tbl Ground Cinnamon
1 Tbl Ground Cumin
1 Tbl Ground Cardamom
1 Tbl Ground Coriander
1 Tbl Cayenne Pepper

Puree peppers, fresh garlic, and ginger in a Robot Coupe. Heat olive oil in non-reactive pan. Add in puree and simmer for one hour. Then remove pot from heat and add all other ingredients. Puree again until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature. Puree with a blender and run through Food Mill.

Cool, cover and refrigerate in jars for up to one week.

Here is the 1/4 recipe - but good luck simmering this amount. LOL

1 Tbl Olive Oil
3 Tbl Red Pepper
1 Tbl Fresh Ginger Root
1 Tbl Garlic Cloves
¾ tsp Ground Turmeric
¾ tsp Ground Cinnamon
¾ tsp Ground Cumin
¾ tsp Ground Cardamom
¾ tsp Ground Coriander
¾ tsp Cayenne Pepper

This gives you about a cup of puree to cook.
