Roasted Kabocha/Red Kuri Squash Soup

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

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Oil a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • 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.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy.

We picked about 9 pounds of strawberries and I'm looking forward to eating them! 🍓

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuse This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuseum is a great visit for all ages. The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.
