Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cut the acorn squash in half and remove the seeds. Place the squash into a baking dish, cut side down. Add enough water to cover the bottom 1/2 inch of the pan.
- Cook the squash in a 350°F oven for about 45 minutes, or until tender when poked with a fork. When the squash is cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skins.
- In a medium-sized pot, sauté the onions in butter over medium heat until they become translucent.
- Add allspice, cardamom, white pepper, and salt, and stir until the spices become fragrant. Add chicken broth and cooked squash, and cook until heated through.
- Use either a stick blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot, and add the heavy cream. Heat through, and avoid boiling after the cream has been added.
- Garnish with pumpkin seeds and cilantro to serve.
