Ingredients

2 tablespoons Melt vegan butter

1 tablespoon avocado or extra virgin olive oil

1 sweet onion, finely diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 carton (approximately 1 1/2 cups) nutpods Pumpkin Spice Creamer

1 (15-ounce) can organic, unsweetened pumpkin purée

1 large acorn squash, cut into half and seeds/flesh scooped

3-4 cups vegetable stock

Optional --1 tbsp maple syrup to sweeten (leave out if doing Whole30)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F and coat acorn squash halves with a tiny bit of oil, salt and pepper, then place face down on a parchment lined baking pan. Roast for 30-45 minutes, until completely soft. I like cooking the squash this way as it doesn't require any peeling or dicing (once it's cooled you scoop out the flesh and add to the soup pot) but if you prefer you can also peel and chop the squash and add it to the pot with the other ingredients to cook.

Heat the vegan butter and oil in a large stove top pot until melted, add the onions, and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Add minced garlic to the top of the onions and cook an additional minute.

Add the pumpkin purée, nutpods Pumpkin Spice creamer, vegetable stock, salt, pepper and optional maple syrup. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for an hour.

Once acorn squash is done cooking, remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Scoop out the flesh (making sure to leave the green skin off) and add it to the soup pot.

Process the mixture, in batches, using a blender. WARNING-blend in small batches (so there’s room left at the top of the blender) and be sure to let the hot air escape so you don’t have any explosions on your hands.

Serve with a simple green salad and top with an additional drizzle of nutpods, freshly chopped herbs and coconut shavings.
