A fall-tastic soup featuring acorn squash, apple, ginger, and curry.
Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small white onion , chopped
- 0.5 tablespoons freshly minced garlic
- 0.5 tablespoons freshly minced ginger
- 1 large Golden Delicious apple - peeled , cored, and chopped
- 1 can fat-free chicken broth , 14.5 ounce
- 0.5 tablespoons curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Cut acorn squash in half and remove seeds and pulp. Place cut-side down in a baking dish; add about 1 inch of water.

3
Roast in the preheated oven until a knife can be easily inserted, 20 to 30 minutes.

While squash roasts, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion until almost translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in garlic and ginger. Add apple and cook, stirring regularly to keep from sticking, until it starts to get mushy, 7 to 10 minutes. Pour in 1/4 of the chicken broth. Add curry powder, cinnamon, cardamom, cayenne, salt, and pepper.

5
Remove squash from the oven and let cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Remove skin carefully, chop flesh roughly with a knife, and mash some of the flesh.
-
6
Add squash to the pot with remaining chicken broth. Simmer soup over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Pour into large bowls and serve.

Beer Margarita
This beer margarita recipe sounds strange and dangerous; well, it's dangerous, but it tastes great! A salted margarita glass is optional.
Gluten-Free Vegan Stock for the Slow Cooker
Vegetable stock for all your needs without the MSG and chemicals in industrial versions. This helps use up whatever veggies and fruit you might have around. Nothing goes to waste. Add any veggies you might have left over. I use the end pieces of green beans and whatever 'unwanted' outer parts of vegetables I get from cooking and keep them in a bag in the fridge until the next time I make stock. Even the peels of sweet potatoes and turnips make for good stock. Don't throw out anything.
