Acorn Squash Soup

Too good to forget how I made this one:

1 Acorn squash

2 yellow onions

6ish garlic cloves

2 cups of broth (chicken this time, but you can use veggie)

rosemary

salt and pepper

Cut the acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds.  Place it cut side down on a baking sheet and roast on about 400 (F) for about an hour

Quarter the onions and peel the garlic.  Toss in olive oil and salt (I used coarse sea salt).  Spread on a baking pan and roast on about 400 (F) for about 20 minutes.

Bring the broth plus an additional cup of water to boil.  Scoop the roasted flesh from the acorn squash skin and toss it in the pot of broth.  Toss in, likewise, the roasted onions and garlic.  Add a branch of fresh rosemary and some salt and pepper.

Simmer for about 20 minutes.  Remove the rosemary and puree the soup.  (I used my trusty immersion blender.)

Yum!

We had that tonight, too! Ours was made with leeks and potatoes. Oh, and LOTS of butter. Sooooooo good!

Yum. I just happen to have a couple of acorn squash sitting on my counter waiting for inspiration to hit me.
