Roasted Acorn Squash Soup

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium acorn squashes, halved and seeds removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (or cream for a richer texture)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Start by preparing the acorn squashes. Brush the cut sides with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
  3. While the squash is roasting, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it’s fragrant. Make sure not to let the garlic burn!
  5. Once the squash is done, scoop out the flesh and add it to the pot along with the vegetable broth, ground cumin, and nutmeg. Bring it to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to combine the flavors.
  6. Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender in batches) to puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Serve the soup warm, garnished with fresh parsley or chives. Enjoy a bowlful of this comforting dish, perfect for sharing with loved ones!
