Creamy Roasted Squash Soup

Start your Thanksgiving meal (or any chilly fall dinner) with a creamy soup made from the treasures of the colder weather – winter squash!

Give it a try – its pretty easy …

What you need:

How to Do it:

Cut the squash in half and clean out the inside, but save some seeds to toast for a garnish.

Place the squash, onion, carrot and seeds on a cookie sheet.  Sprinkle the olive oil over everything and then add some salt and pepper.

Place in the oven at 350 degrees.  Bake for about 15 minutes – then remove the seeds.  If they start popping, they are done (and most likely all over the oven, as mine were!).  Bake the vegetables another 20 minutes – until the squash and the carrot are tender.

Remove from the oven and let cool.

Scoop all the meat out of the squash and place all the vegetables in a food processor with the broth and the herbs.  Process until smooth.

Move the puree to a sauce pan and simmer on medium-low for about 20 minutes.  Add the cream and ¼ cup of sour cream.  Simmer until heated through.
