"While making soup, Ramsay plops butter into the recipe in a move he dubs a "naughty chef's trick." This nearly last step in the soup-making process is a move that helps make the soup extra smooth and delicious. In the video posted to Facebook, Ramsay shows that pumpkin that has been roasted with rosemary and garlic and is blended with butter is the kind of foundation that sets the stage for a tasty meal."
"In addition to adding butter, Ramsay pours just enough soup into a blender so that there is plenty of room for the soup to aerate while mixing. By filling the blender only halfway, the soup can fully pulse without spilling over or getting stuck in the container, resulting in a texture that is creamy and velvety.

Adding a knob of butter near the end of soup-making enriches mouthfeel and creates an extra smooth, velvety texture. Roasted pumpkin combined with rosemary, garlic and butter forms a flavorful base for creamy soups. Pouring only half a blenderful allows the soup to aerate and fully pulse without spilling, producing a silky result. Both salted and unsalted butter can be tested to vary depth of flavor. A splash of dairy or coconut milk increases richness. Store-bought soups can be improved with butter and blending. Garnishes like roasted pumpkin seeds or fried mushrooms add contrasting texture.
