Main Ingredients
- 2 whole Acorn Squash halved and seeded
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 medium Onion chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 4 cups Vegetable Broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- ½ cup Heavy Cream optional
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place acorn squash halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until tender.
In a large pot, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Scoop out the roasted squash flesh and add to the pot. Pour in vegetable broth, add nutmeg, and bring to a simmer.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir in heavy cream if using.
Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream or a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired.
