For me, winter weather = soup weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I roasted some acorn squash the other night for dinner and wasn’t sure how to use the leftovers. So I decided to just make a soup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t follow a recipe but wanted to share because it turned out pretty good. First I saut\u00e9ed some shallots, onions, carrots and half of an apple. I used gala but I saw on some other recipes that Granny Smith apples were popular for squash soups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I cooked all of that in some butter until the onions and shallots were lightly browned. Then I added a can of chicken broth (I did half a can at first and then ended up adding the rest). I brought it to a boil for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I added the leftover squash (I had acorn but any kind could work except maybe spaghetti squash). Continued to boil a minute or two and then reduced it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the seasoning I added stuff (no measuring) until I felt like the taste was right. Here is what I added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt and Pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutmeg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paprika<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sage and Thyme <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic Powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I let it simmer for a good 20 minutes and used my immersion blender<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>to blend it up until creamy. Then I let it simmer for some more time, basically until it was lightly bubbling and I liked the texture. I only use my immersion blender half a dozen times a year but I absolutely LOVE it. It is so easy to use, easy to clean up and makes soups so good creamy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the soup was done I topped it with a spoonful of sour cream and toasted walnuts. It turned out REALLY good! I liked it a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only thing I would change: Use minced garlic instead of powder garlic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can top it with a bunch of different stuff. Crumbled Goat cheese would be fantastic (I just didn’t have any). Toast some sage leaves and add it to the top. I saw one recipe that had pepitas on top. You can also add some coconut milk or heavy cream to the soup, or add curry to make the flavor a little different. I really liked how versatile this soup is. You can make it sweet, savory or spicy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From start to finish it took about 45 minutes. Super easy. I would definitely make this again with leftover squash and try different flavors! I love a coconut curry squash soup…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
