Ingredients
  

For the roasted acorn squash
  • 3 large acorn squash, halved and seeded
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ Tablespoon powdered sage
For the soup
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sage
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Toasted pepitas, for garnish
  • Crème fraiche, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prep. Preheat the oven to 415°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season the squash. Rub the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sage all over the cut sides of the squash.
  3. Roast. Place the squash cut-side-down on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes or until fork tender.
  4. Saute. While the squash is roasting, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a soup pot. Add the onion and carrot. Season with salt. Saute until the veggies are softened.
  5. Build the soup. Add the vegetable stock to the soup pot and stir in the pepper, garlic powder, thyme, sage, and bay leaves.
  6. Simmer. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  7. Blend. Scoop the flesh of the squash into a blender and pour the soup over it. Blend until smooth.
  8. Serve. Serve warm, topped with toasted pepitas and a drizzle of crème fraiche.
