ingredients
- 2 acorn squash (about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds total)
- 14.79 ml olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 2 tart apples (such as Granny Smith)
- 0.25 ml salt, to taste
- 0.25 ml fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 1.23 ml cumin
- 2.46 ml curry powder
- 29.58 ml dry sherry (or white wine)
- 946.36 ml low sodium chicken broth (or stock)
- 59.14 ml low-fat sour cream
directions
- Cut the acorn squash in half and microwave until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and apples, and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper, add the cumin and curry powder and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Remove the seeds from the squash and discard them. Scoop the squash pulp out of the skin with a spoon and add it to the soup pot along with the sherry or white wine and cook for 2 or 3 minutes more.
- Puree this mixture in a blender in batches, being careful not to overfill the blender and adding broth as needed. Strain the blended mixture through a colander to remove any remaining fiber or seeds.
- Reheat the soup and add the remaining broth to adjust the consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the soup in warm bowls with a dollop of sour cream.
