Oh, my. This one was a real success. If you like your soup really<\/strong> creamy, full of flavor and just a little spicy, this one is for you<\/strong>. I would serve this roasted acorn squash cream soup in any fine restaurant, any day, it turned out that<\/span> good.<\/p>\n

Part of the reason why it turned out so good is the amount of attention to detail in every preparation step. A good soup isn’t hard to make, it just needs to be made the right<\/strong> way.<\/p>\n

Curried Acorn Squash Cream Soup<\/h2>\n

A lot of the flavor in this recipe comes from the caramelized onions. They have to be browned the right way to provide a maximum of flavor, and that is where a good cast iron pan will shine. Don’t forget to deglaze your pan with chicken broth and scrape it with a wooden spoon afterward, to capture all those precious little bits of flavor. Yes, my friends, attention to detail. That is what makes the difference between good and amazing, always.<\/p>\n

Bonus Recipe:<\/strong> smoked paprika roasted acorn squash seeds.<\/p>\n

I love <\/strong>those. If you have extra time, I suggest you keep a handful of seeds to bake these babies. They are really simple to make and way better (and healthier) than croutons in my opinion. Only 3 ingredients, plus you can bake these while your acorn squash is roasting in the oven. Either keep them as a snack and\/or sprinkle a few of them on top of your soup. Delicious.<\/p>\n

Roasting the squash is very simple, but make sure you have a long sharp knife on hand and take your time while you cut your squashes in half. Here is my technique to properly and safely cut a squash, with relative ease:<\/p>\n

Start by placing your squash on a thick\/heavy cutting board and place the knife in the center of your squash, with the edge touching the skin.\u00a0Hold the knife firmly by the handle with your main hand and with your second hand, give a few gentle “slaps” with your palm, open-handed, on the top of your blade, to slowly drive the knife through the thick skin. Then, when your knife has gone through the skin, slowly apply pressure on the knife to drive it straight down.\u00a0Keep your fingers away from the blade at all times.<\/p>\n

Another delicious way to serve this soup is in acorn squash bowls. Simply roast 3 more squashes and use the halves as edible bowls! It is a fantastic way to serve this delicious soup… and a fabulous way to impress your guests!<\/p>\n
