Ingredients:
\n2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
\nwater, as needed
\n3 tablespoons unsalted butter
\n1 large sweet onion, chopped
\n1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
\n1 clove garlic, minced
\n3\u2009\u00bd cups low-sodium chicken stock
\n\u00bc cup half-and-half
\n\u00bd teaspoon ground nutmeg
\n\u00bd teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste<\/p>\n
Directions:
\nPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).<\/p>\n
Put squash into a baking dish with the cut side down. Pour enough water into the baking dish to cover the bottom.<\/p>\n
Bake in preheated oven until the flesh of the squash is easily pricked with a fork, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool until squash can be handled. Scoop flesh into a bowl and set aside.<\/p>\n
Melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook onion, carrot, and garlic in melted butter until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour chicken stock into the pot; add the squash.<\/p>\n
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
Pour mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth and return to pot.<\/p>\n
Stir half-and-half, nutmeg, and cinnamon through the blended soup; season with salt and pepper. Thin the soup with water if desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
