Coconut Acorn Squash Soup Recipe

A holiday menu in my opinion needs to include a warm soothing soup featuring seasonal ingredients like acorn squash and pomegranates that now you can find easily at the farmers markets and where you normally do groceries. Acorn squash is a wonderful ingredient for roasting and has a sweet comforting flavor. I love it for side dishes, on salads, for stuffing, in my chili and in soups. That is why today my menu suggestion for the holidays is a delicious Coconut Acorn Squash Soup done with a high performance blender. So let’s cook!

Start by baking the acorn squash in the oven following the steps on the picture above. When ready scoop the cooked acorn squash flesh with a spoon. It will yield about 3 cups.

Place the flesh of the baked acorn squash in the Ninja Blender, add the coconut milk and one cup of broth. Blend selecting the “Auto-iQTM FOOD PUREE” function. Pour the blended acorn squash puree in a soup pot and add rest of the vegetable broth. Cook on the stove at medium heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
