Ingredients

  • 20 oz acorn squash peeled and deseeded weight, 1 medium squash
  • 1 apple
  • 1 onion small
  • 1 clove garlic large
  • 2 cups light stock eg vegetable, chicken, as suits

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
  2. Peel both the squash and apple and remove seeds/core. Dice both into medium-sized chunks. Peel the onion and cut into large chunks.
  3. Place the squash, apple and onion chunks in a roasting dish or on a baking sheet along with the garlic, unpeeled, and drizzle over a little olive oil. Season with a little salt and pepper (to taste). Toss so everything is lightly covered.
  4. Roast for approx 30-40mins until the squash is tender and the apple and onion are just starting to brown. Remove the garlic from the skin and place everything in a blender along with the stock.
  5. Blend until smooth and either serve or freeze until needed. If you feel the squash is too thick, then add a little more stock. If you like, drizzle a little cream or coconut milk on top for decoration.

Notes

  • You can use a red onion or white onion for this, as you have and prefer. Red onion may give you slight specs of color in the soup as I have here but still all tasty!
  • You can make this thicker or thinner to suit your preference by adjusting the amount of stock.
