Ingredients
- 3 pounds acorn squash 2 medium or 1 large (4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion ½-inch diced
- 1 carrot chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 2 ribs celery chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 1-2 sprigs fresh
- ¼ teaspoon dried ground sage or poultry seasoning
- 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 small apple any tart variety, peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream or coconut milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut each half again so you have quarters. Brush with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast 30-35 minutes or until squash is fork tender.
- While squash is roasting, heat the butter in a large saucepan or dutch oven. Add onion and cook until slightly softened.
- Add carrot, celery, garlic, and seasonings and cook until slightly softened.
- Scoop the flesh of the squash and add to the pot along with the broth & diced apple.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15 minutes or until apples are tender.
- Remove from heat (discard bay leaf and thyme stem if using fresh). Blend until smooth.
- Bring back to a simmer, stir in heavy cream to taste, and salt and pepper.
Notes
- Choose any type of apple. Favorites include granny smith, pink lady, or braeburn.
- If using a regular blender or immersion blender, this soup is best strained. If using a high power blender (such as a Blendtec or Vitamix) there is no need to strain.
- You can use all or just some of the heavy cream based on personal preference. Coconut milk can be used in place of cream if desired.
- If preferred, you can roast acorn squash in the air fryer at 370°F for about 25 minutes.
