Categories     Soup/Stew     Squash

Yield 45

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds acorn squash, halved and seeded (see Note)
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 piece (1 inch) fresh ginger, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
3 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons heavy (or whipping) cream
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Place the squash halves cut sides up on a large plate or dish. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 6 minutes, or until very soft. Set aside until cool enough to handle. 2. Place the onion, ginger, coriander, allspice, salt, butter, and water in a large bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 10 minutes. Remove the ginger pieces. 3. Scoop the pulp out of the squash halves and add to the spice mixture. Puree the mixture in a food processor or food mill, then return it to the bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 6 minutes, or until heated through. Stir in the lime juice and cream, sprinkle the cilantro over the top, and serve hot. Note: You can use any other hard squash or pumpkin or a combination instead of acorn squash. Cooking times vary slightly.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover acorn squash. I had some roasted squash in my fridge and this soup was the perfect way to use it up.

This soup is a delightful blend of flavors, with the sweetness of the acorn squash perfectly balanced by the tanginess of the ginger and lime. The coconut milk adds a rich, creamy texture that makes this soup extra comforting.
