How to Make Acorn Squash And Sweet Potato Soup Vegetarian

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut 1 medium acorn squash and 1 large sweet potato in half lengthwise. Halve 1 large shallot lengthwise.
  3. Brush the cut sides of the squash, sweet potato, and shallot with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Place the vegetables, cut sides down, in a shallow roasting pan along with 4 cloves of garlic.
  5. Roast for 40-45 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
  6. Once cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh from the squash and sweet potato halves into a large pot. Add the roasted shallot halves.
  7. Peel and add the roasted garlic cloves to the pot.
  8. Add 4 cups vegetable broth and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
  9. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are very tender.
  10. Let the soup cool slightly. Carefully transfer to a blender and puree until completely smooth.
  11. Return the soup to the pot. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream (or plain soy milk for vegan option).
  12. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to heat through.
