This Roasted Acorn Squash Soup is so creamy and delicious! The flavors of the Acorn Squash, Apple and seasonings combined together really gives this soup a unique flavor with a hint of sweetness! This is Dairy Free, Gluten Free, and Vegan.
I was actually prompted to make this from one of my readers. You guys are the best, seriously!
I’ve made a few recipes with Acorn Squash, like this Roasted Acorn Squash Stuffed with Sage Mushrooms and Cranberries. Or this Roasted Acorn Squash with Cranberry Walnut Quinoa Stuffing, but never attempted to make a soup.
One of my readers had commented on a Acorn Squash recipe I had posted on Facebook and had asked me if I had any Acorn Squash Soup recipes. I was thinking, ugh how do I not have any soup recipes for this?
So off to work I went creating this Roasted Acorn Squash and Apple Soup!
I love making what makes my readers (you) happy, so at any time please feel free to make a suggestion.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys are what keeps me going! 🙂
I started off by Roasting the Acorn Squash. I also have an easy step by step on How To Roast An Acorn Squash.
While the Squash is roasting you can prepare the rest.
In a large frying pan add the EVOO and Sweet Onion, sautéing 4-5 minutes.
Then add in the Apple, Ginger, Garlic, and sauté 3-4 more minutes until Apples are 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.
I sprinkled a little Nutmeg over the top of my soup for a little extra sweetness.
Here’s what I love about this soup:
- It’s rich and creamy
- It has a bit of sweetness
- It’s healthy
- It’s Dairy Free, Gluten Free, and Vegan
- It’s hearty
- I love wrapping my hands around a nice warm bowl of this soup on these cooler winter days. Ahh it’s the little things. 🙂
Cheers friends!
