Acorn Squash Soup

I’ve had a stash of this acorn squash soup in my freezer for the last couple of weeks, ready and waiting for the type of cold fall day that necessitates creamy orange soup. Well, last weekend, that day finally came. Saturday arrived, chilly and crisp, and I knew that this acorn squash soup would hit the spot. I heated up a bowl for lunch, and I enjoyed it so much that I polished off the rest on Sunday. This weekend, I’m definitely making more.

This acorn squash soup is sublimely creamy (but not from cream!), and it’s deliciously seasoned with woodsy thyme, warming nutmeg, and cayenne for kick. If you’re trying to stay cozy in cold weather, I can’t recommend it enough.

Ingredients:

  •   2 medium acorn squash, about 3 pounds
  • 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Pepitas, for garnish, optional
  • Microgreens, for garnish, optional
  • Like!
