Acorn Squash Soup

Langkah-langkah

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut each half again so you have quarters. Brush with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast 30-35 minutes or until squash is fork tender.
2. While squash is roasting, heat the butter in a large saucepan or dutch oven. Add onion and cook until slightly softened.
3. Add carrot, celery, garlic, and seasonings and cook until slightly softened.
4. Scoop the flesh of the squash and add to the pot along with the broth & diced apple.
5. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15 minutes or until apples are tender.
6. Remove from heat (discard bay leaf and thyme stem if using fresh). Blend until smooth.
7. Bring back to a simmer, stir in heavy cream to taste, and salt and pepper.
