Description
This rich, savory dish is packed with flavor, fruits and veggies and can be enjoyed year-round.
Start by preheating your oven to 375°. Next, prepare the butternut squash and acorn squash by cutting each in half and removing any seeds. Add your squash and water to a baking sheet and cook in the oven until perfectly tender.
This part might get a little messy: peel the skin from the squash, then add the cooked vegetables to a food processor. Add pumpkin purée and heavy cream of choice, and blend for a smooth, buttery consistency.
You’ll want to make a roux which will serve as the base of your soup, creating a thickness and adding flavor to your dish. To start, allow butter to melt over medium heat in a large pot; then add fresh minced onion and bold spices of salt, pepper, thyme and Italian seasoning to the roux. Once the onions are caramelized and soft, incorporate the flour until the mixture is a beautiful golden brown. Merge the roux and squash mixture to create a creamy, blended soup.
To add texture to this dish, we suggest making a delicious Chili Cran-Apple Relish to top over the pumpkin soup. This 4-ingredient garnish is easy to prepare! In a separate bowl, combine dice apples and cranberries and top with honey and hot sauce for a bold, spicy yet sweet taste.
