Fall weather makes me crave soup all the time. I made a delicious root vegetable soup (published in french but I checked the translation for the recipe itself and it is A-Ok.). After I was done with that first soup, I did want more! I told you, I am craving soup all the time!
I made this second soup because I had some carrots, an acorn squash and fresh oregano to use. Yep, not a fascinating story. And it is so easy to make, I am not even sure I can call it a recipe!!
Acorn Squash and Carrot Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil
- 1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 acorn squash, skin removed and coarsely chopped
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 tbsp loosely packed fresh oregano leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, squash and carrots and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Add oregano leaves and enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Let cook for 1 hour. Using a hand blender, process the soup until smooth. Otherwise, let cool the soup a little then process in a regular blender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Makes approximately 8 cups
This soup is delicious. The taste is mild and the squash and carrots combine to give a delicious flavor. If you want a strong oregano taste, feel free to add more!
This sounds like a perfect soup to use the fall vegetables. Can’t wait to try it.. Looks delicious. I have an acorn squash just waiting to be cooked! thanks for the recipe
hope all is well in your end 🙂 glad to hear from you
The soup looks awesome
I tested Cialis personally. I didn’t feel any problems with my libido, but I noticed a weakening of potency. I decided to buy Cialis online at https://cialnow.com/ pharmacy because there are so much positive reviews about the drug. And it did not disappoint me, so now I recommend Cialis to everyone.
I am making it a goal to make a squash based soup this year! I have never had it before, and it looks so good. I just want your bowl and a blankie 🙂
I LOVE your new profile photo!! You are GORGEOUS! I want that pixie cut!! 🙂
The soup looks lovely… so fallish and of course, beautiful!
Thanks so much Kate! 🙂
I’ve always been an acorn squash and carrots girl. So much flavor and nutrition, and the color is just lovely. This would be great for a soup course, simple supper or get well gift. Well done!
