You can make my acorn squash soup recipe two ways: by either roasting the acorn squash in the oven for a richer flavor, albeit, it takes longer. Or, a quick under 30 minutes recipe in your instant pot. It's up to you! I've included directions for both ways in this post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Creamy Roasted Acorn Squash Soup recipe is:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Love trying new cuisines at home<\/strong> and want to try truly unique recipes? Make sure to check out my complete guide on Cooking Authentic Arabic Food at Home<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes acorn squash soup is so so healthy! I love roasting acorn squash with other vegetables and gut healing bone broth for a truly healthy soup recipe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n ACORN SQUASH HEALTH BENEFITS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Acorn squash is rich in a variety of nutrients<\/strong> like beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium<\/strong>, and fiber<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Plus, my roasted acorn squash soup recipe is made with collagen and protein rich bone broth, which not only supports beautiful skin, but also helps balance blood sugars! <\/p>\n\n\n\n ROAST ACRON SQUASH!<\/strong> Instead of going through the hassle of peeling acorn squash, throw it on a sheet tray and the oven works it's magic. If you're using my instant pot acorn squash method, soften acorn squash in your instant pot first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADD AROMATICS<\/strong>! Garlic and onion will taste best in your roasted acorn squash soup when they've been cooked first. So either roast them along with your acorn squash, or make sure to saut\u00e9 them if you're doing the instant pot method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n ADD POTENT AND FRESH SPICES<\/strong>. Make sure to use fresh ground cinnamon and nutmeg for the strongest best acorn squash soup flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n USE AN IMMERSION BLENDER TO PUREE ACORN SQUASH SOUP TILL CREAMY<\/strong>. No need to use a blender to puree soup, I never liked the hassle of transferring soup to a blender and then back to a pan again. Just use an immersion blender right in your soup pot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roast, puree and serve! Roasted acorn squash soup is as easy as that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, I line my sheet pan or baking tray with parchment paper, which makes it soo much easier to transfer your veggies to your pot after roasting, and helps save all those flavorful cooking juices.. And helps with clean up! I love parchment paper for everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Add 2 acorn squash, cut in half with the seeds removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next add the quartered onion, a handful of baby carrots or 2 whole carrots chopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a bulb of garlic to roast for the best garlic flavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drizzle all your vegetables with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roast in your oven until soft and starting to brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your vegetables are roasted, scrape the acorn squash flesh into a pot. Add the rest of your roasted vegetables. Unwrap your garlic and squeeze the roasted garlic in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, add 4 cups of bone broth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Use your immersion blender to puree completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want your roasted acorn squash soup even creamier, you can surely stir in heavy cream, homemade cashew cream, or full fat coconut milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taste and add more salt, pepper, cinnamon, or nutmeg to your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n STEP 1: steam your acorn squash<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wash the outside of each of the 2 acorn squash. Cut each acorn squash in half. Scrape the seeds out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Place the 4 acorn squash halves in the instant pot or pressure cooker. Add 1.5-2 inches of water to the bottom of the pot. Cover with the lid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes, and the steam valve set to sealing on your instant pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the timer is up, set the valve to venting to release the steam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Remove the lid and transfer your soft acorn squash to a bowl to cool while you saut\u00e9 the onions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n STEP 2: prepare your soup<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Drain the acorn squash cooking water from your instant pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, set the instant pot to saut\u00e9 on low or medium heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the oil is hot, add 1 diced yellow onion<\/strong>. Cook the onion until it is soft and translucent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, add <\/strong>the 1 chopped carrot <\/strong>and a bulb of minced garlic and cook it until it is soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, stir in the 4 cups broth, acorn squash flesh, \u00bd teaspoon ground nutmeg, <\/strong>and \u00bd teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pressure cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n STEP 3: puree acorn squash soup<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, you can pour in <\/strong>the \u00bd cup <\/strong>of full fat coconut milk<\/strong>. Use your immersion blender to completely puree the soup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don't have an immersion blender, you can pour your soup into a large blender and puree it. Or, you can puree it in batches in a food processor. Just be careful if you are doing it this way because the steam can cause the lid of your blender to blow off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it is ready to serve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Acorn squash vegetable soup makes about 6 cups of soup, which is a great side dish for a meal! If you end up having leftovers (we did because it's just the 2 of us!), either cover your pot with a lid and store it in the fridge this way. Or, pour the soup into individual glass containers to heat up as you want it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n I love storing my leftover soup in glass containers because it makes an easy thing to grab for lunch to heat up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creamy acorn squash soup stores well in the fridge for up to 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Frequently asked questions about my acorn squash soup recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n IS BONE BROTH DAIRY FREE?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes! Bone broth is made by slow cooking bones to release beneficial nutrients. Dairy products are all from milk-based products. So, bone broth is totally dairy free friendly! <\/p>\n\n\n\n DO YOU HAVE TO PEEL ACORN SQUASH FOR SOUP?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you use either of my my methods, you will either roast or steam (pressure cook) your acorn squash with the skin on in your oven or instant pot. Then, you will scrape the acorn squash right from the skin into your acorn squash soup pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HOW DO YOU CUT ACORN SQUASH FOR SOUP?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To cut your acorn squash for soup, just slice it in half once and remove the stem. Steam the acorn squash with the skin on. Scrape the flesh out into the soup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To cook acorn squash raw right into soup: Use a vegetable peeler instead of a knife to peel all skin off. Cut the squash in half, remove and discard seeds. Cut into cubes and add right into your soup pot along with the broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HOW DO YOU THICKEN ACORN SQUASH SOUP?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If your soup came out too watery, next time, start with less broth. To thicken any soup immediately, simply mix 1 tablespoon of corn starch with 1 tablespoon of water and add it to the soup, cook to thicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other cozy healthy soup recipes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you try my Roasted Acorn Squash Soup Recipe<\/strong>, please let me know your thoughts by leaving a rating and comment below!
