Servings : 6

Ingredients

  • 2 acorn squash halved
  • 1 1/2 lbs pork sausage
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 Tbsp bottled minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Cut acorn squashes in half and place on a baking sheet, open side down.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until soft to the touch.
  • When your acorn squash has about 10 minutes left to cook, add a large skillet over medium heat along with your 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and diced onions.
  • Once your onions become translucent, add your pork sausage to the pan and use a wooden spoon to break it up into pieces and cook until completely cooked through.
  • When your acorn squash is roasted and soft, scoop the squash out of the skin with a spoon and place into a food processor.
  • Then add your coconut milk and broth to the food processor. Puree until smooth.
  • Then add your smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper and puree until smooth.
  • Place your pureed soup in a bowl, top with sausage, and sprinkle with pepitas.
  • Eat up!
