For a richer flavor, roast the kabocha squash in the oven instead of microwaving. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), drizzle the squash with olive oil, and roast cut-side down for 30-40 minutes, or until tender. If you prefer a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth until you reach your desired consistency. A dash of maple syrup or a squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the flavors of the soup. This soup freezes well! Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Step

Prepare the Kabocha Squash: Place the kabocha squash cut-side down into a microwave-safe baking dish. Pour about 1/2 inch of water around the squash. Microwave on high until the squash is easily pierced with a fork, approximately 8-12 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes, before handling.

Sauté Aromatics: While the squash is cooking, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent and softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a blender.
