Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Butternut Squash: In a saucepan, place the butternut squash cubes and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until tender (approximately 30 minutes). Drain the water and set the squash aside.

02

Step

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

03

Step

Sauté the Vegetables: Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the carrots, onion, and celery and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

04

Step

Blend the Soup Base: Transfer the sautéed vegetables, cooked butternut squash, heavy cream, and sour cream into a blender. Cover and puree until completely smooth, working in batches if necessary.

05

Step

Simmer the Soup: Pour the blended mixture into a soup pot. Stir in the chicken broth, ground nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes.

06

Step

Roast the Pumpkin Bowls: While the soup simmers, place the pumpkin halves, cut sides up, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the pumpkin flesh is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. For an extra touch, start the broiler and place the pumpkin halves under the broiler about 6 inches from the heat source to lightly brown the cut sides.

07

Step

Serve: Place a roasted pumpkin bowl in each decorative soup plate. Ladle the creamy soup into the pumpkin bowls. Sprinkle each serving generously with grated Asiago cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, consider using roasted chicken stock instead of chicken broth.
Adjust the amount of nutmeg and pepper to suit your taste preferences.
If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil, the heavy cream and sour cream with coconut cream, and the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
The soup can be made a day ahead and reheated gently on the stovetop before serving. The flavors will meld together even more beautifully.
Feel free to experiment with other spices like cinnamon or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a hint of warmth.
