    This thick, creamy, sweet, and savory soup is a Fall favorite but incredible all year long.

    It’s Fall and that means warm meals are never ending in my home. This roasted acorn squash soup gives you all the creamy, rich, sweet flavors that you could want!

    It might possibly get better if you pair this soup with a roasted chicken, or fresh baked bread to toast and dunk in the soup! I can’t get enough of this roasted acorn squash soup. It’s so easy to make, just takes a bit of time to bake the ingredients. I have tried to thin this recipe out and it never turns out like I want. The richness and thickness is just so perfect and it won’t disappoint.

    Now, Acorn Squash is just one option for this recipe, but you can definitely replace it with a Butternut, Hubbard, or even Pumpkin.

    I have made this recipe in my convection oven and it works great as well. For space sake, you’ll likely have to roast the squash separate from the vegetables which will add on some time. Watch the squash because it might not need the same amount of time to roast in a toaster oven as it does in a conventional. Also, you can kick up the temp to 425℉ for the vegetables and roast for about 25 – 30 minutes.

    Option to place all veggies, fruit, and squash in a blender right after roasting them. Then, add this blended mixture into the saucepan and add broth. Simmer for about 15 minutes.

    Top with walnuts or Greek Yogurt but too much yogurt and it will dampen the flavors!

    Yields about 5 servings at 1 cup each.

    Prepping the Acorn Squash
