I love this one - it's more brothy than creamy, but I love the flavor the Jasmine tea brings:
4 oz butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed 3 cups chicken stock 1 bag of jasmine green tea 1/2 cup boiling water salt pepper 1 tsp veggie oil 2 green onions, green part only, thinly sliced
1) In large pot, cover the squash with the stock and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until the squash until tender, about 35 minutes. 2) In a cup, steep the tea in the boiling water for 5 minutes. 3) Puree the soup in a blender and return it to the pot. 4) Add the tea and bring to a simmer. 5) Season the soup with salt and pepper. 6) In a small skillet, heat the veggie oil. Add the green onions and cook over high 30 seconds. 7) Season with salt. 8) Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with green onions.
