Roasted Kabocha/Red Kuri Squash Soup

Published on October 22, 2015 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

I eat a lot of squash in the fall and winter, but kabocha squash is a pretty recent discovery for me.  This variety of winter squash comes in both green and orange varieties and I see it regularly at my CSA and farmers markets.  Even though I can find the squash, recipes for kabocha are not nearly as common as butternut, acorn or even delicata.

It’s really too bad though, because kabocha is delicious.  It’s sweet and creamy and, in the right application, even better than butternut.  I’ve been turning our kabocha into a super easy soup.

If you were feeling fancy, you could definitely add fresh or dried spices to this soup.  I think sage or thyme or Italian seasoning would be good, but I love the taste of this squash so much and the ease of a recipe that only has 6 ingredients that I’m sharing this in the most simple form.

Cook Time 1 hr
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • olive oil
  • 2 kabocha squash
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 1 clove garlic left in its papery wrapper
  • 1 quart vegetable broth

  • Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves on the baking sheet. Toss the quartered onion and garlic clove in olive oil and add them to the baking sheet.
  • Roast the squash, onion and garlic for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender when stuck with a fork.
  • Allow the squash to cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, scrape the onion into a medium sized pot. Squeeze the garlic from its skin into the pot as well.
  • Scrape the squash from the skin and add it to the pot with the garlic and onion. Add the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Cook the soup for 10 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth.

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
