How to Make Acorn Squash Soup

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut ends off of Squash, then cut Squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Place Squash cut side up on baking sheet. Brush each Squash half with 2 Tbs EVOO and sprinkle with Salt and Pepper. Place Squash cut side down and bake for 30-35 minutes until Squash pierces with a fork easily. While Squash is cooking prepare the rest.

In large frying pan add 2 Tbs EVOO and Onion, sauté 4-5 minutes. Add the Apple, Garlic, Ginger, and sauté 3-4 minutes until Apple is slightly softened.

Transfer mixture to a high speed blender and add in the cooked Squash removed from the shell. Add Coconut Milk and blend for about 30 seconds until desired thickness.

If the soup is not hot enough after blending, add it to a pot on stove top over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until soup is hot.

Acorn Squash Soup Recipe FAQs

Can I substitute Butternut Squash for Acorn Squash in this soup?

You can use an equal amount of Butternut Squash in place of the Acorn Squash. Just note that the flavor and texture will be a bit different.

Do you leave the skin on Acorn Squash for soup?

You definitely can, the skin is edible. I just prefer not to use it in soup.

How to I store leftovers?

Once the soup has cooled, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

How do I reheat this soup?

Place it in a microwave safe bowl and heat 1-2 minutes stirring half way through until desired temperature. You can also heat this in a pot over the stovetop on medium heat, stirring often until heated through.

Can I freeze Acorn Squash Soup?

Yes, place it in a freezer safe container or bag. This can be frozen for up to 3 months.
