Squash Soup


Submitted by amoebuh

Makes 4 servings

Soup using 2 lbs/1 kg pumpkin, kabocha, butternut, or acorn squash.

Ingredients
1 kg Squash
9 cloves of garlic (1 head of garlic)
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. Roast the squash at 180 degrees C in the oven, cut sides brushed with olive oil, for about 40 or 50 minutes. Have the head of garlic in a foil parcel alongside, with the outer white, papery layer peeled off but you can be lazy about this.

  2. Remove from the oven and wait until cool.

  3. Combine the flesh of both squash and garlic cloves using a processor till it's a fine puree, and add the broth.

  4. Re-heat and season to taste.

  5. Can be frozen for up to 2 months, keeps 7 days in the fridge.
