Yield 8 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 acorn squashes
1 medium butternut squash
1 large yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
2 jalapeƱos
1 can coconut milk
1 heaping tbsp. fresh sage
1 heaping tbsp. fresh thyme
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 quart vegetable stock
1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)
Salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the squashes in half vertically and arrange them face-up on a sheet pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top of the squash and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about an hour. Remove the squash when it's tender and soft. Set aside to cool. Chop up the onion, garlic, and jalapeƱo and put them in a big soup pot with the other tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Saute for about 10 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring frequently. Add in the vegetable stock, coconut milk, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Chop up the sage and thyme and add it to the pot and stir. Remove the squashes from their skins by either scooping out the flesh or cutting into big moons and slicing like a cantaloupe. Drop the cooked squash into the soup. Pour in the maple syrup (optional) and stir. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or with your food processor or blender. When the soup is smooth, it's ready to eat. Adjust seasonings to your taste. Tip 1: Try adding a little curry powder to this recipe for an extra kick of flavor. I love curry seasonings in squash soup, and I bet it would be a nice addition if you're a curry lover. Tip 2: This makes a pretty thick soup. If you like it a little thinner, you can always increase the amount of vegetable stock in the recipe. Autumn Squash Soup
