Curried Carrot Squash Soup
A thick soup with warm curry, turmeric, and cumin spices, blended with roasted squash, carrots, and garlic resulting in an incredibly creamy dish. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan!
Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash cut into 1-inch slices and then chunks, large
- 4 carrot peeled and cut into 1-inch rounds, medium sized
- 4-6 garlic cloves
- 1 1/2 /2 Tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 /2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 /2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 /2 tsp cumin ground
- 1/2 /2 tsp ginger fresh
- 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 /4 - 2 1/2 vegetable stock
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. On a large baking sheet, place acorn squash, carrots, and garlic. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tender, flipping halfway through.
- In a blender, add roasted vegetables, spices, vegetable stock, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend on high for 4-5 minutes (crack the top opening to release the steam) until smooth. Add additional vegetable stock as needed.
- Serve immediately (or keep warm on stove until ready to serve) with garnish as desired. I like to use cilantro and a baguette.
Notes
- If you don't have a high-powered blender, remove skins from acorn squash after baking. Proceed to use an immersion blender or regular blender.
- You can swap in butternut squash.
