🥕 Ingrédients

• Garlic: fresh garlic is delicious in this soup! I highly recommend using fresh garlic for this recipe, but you can use powder if needed.
• Carrot: one large carrot helps add flavour as well as a beautiful colour to the soup. If you don’t have carrots on hand you can leave this out.
• Spices: Nutmeg, ginger, salt and pepper. You can also use fresh ginger if you like.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Colour:Choose an acorn squash with a deep rich colour. The skin should be dark green with a little bit of orange.
2. Texture: the squash should feel heavy for its size and have smooth and dull skin. There should not be any soft spots on the squash.
3. Stem: the stem should be dry and brown. (Though many acorn squashes at the grocery store may not have a stem on them, so it can be hard to tell from this method.)
4. Sound. Tap the acorn squash before bringing it home. It should sound hollow.
