Ingredients

  • 2 medium acorn squashes peeled and cut into cubes
  • 2 cups apple diced
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • ½ cup carrot diced
  • 3 cups homemade chicken stock
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • Curry powder to taste
  • 2 tbsp. cooking fat
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • Place the squash cubes on a baking sheet and roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until they easily break apart with a fork.
    2 medium acorn squashes
  • Place the cooked squash in a big bowl, mash them, and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the cooking fat over medium heat. Add the apple, onion, celery, and carrot, and cook until tender (about 6 to 8 minutes).
    2 cups apple, 1 cup onion, 1 cup celery, ½ cup carrot, 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 2 tbsp. cooking fat
  • Add the chicken stock. Cover and let simmer for another 6 to 8 minutes.
    3 cups homemade chicken stock
  • Add the mashed squash, coconut milk, and curry powder, and season to taste.
    Curry powder, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • With a blender or food processor, puree the soup (it’s easier to work in batches if you don’t have an immersion blender). Be extra careful hot liquid in a blender can create pressure. Hold the lid tight onto the blender with the help of a towel.
  • Place the soup back in the saucepan and on the heat until it’s warm again, and serve hot.
