Preparation

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. 2
    Brush a little olive oil on a baking sheet and place the squash cut-side down. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, scoop the pulp out of the shell. You should have about 6-7 cups of pulp.
  3. 3
    Pour a little olive oil into a large saucepan placed over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. 4
    Add the squash pulp and vegetable stock and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. 5
    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup or puree it in a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. 6
    Ladle into warm soup bowls. Add a spoonful of greek yogurt or creme fraiche with some chopped chives in the middle of the bowl.
