Acorn Squash Soup
Maple syrup, nutmeg and ground cinnamon add holiday flavor to this classic autumn soup. Garnish with roasted pumpkin seeds for even more holiday zest.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable broth, or chicken broth
- ¼ cup (60 ml) soy milk
- 1 (454 g) acorn squash, roasted, seeded, cooled
- 2 (20 g) pitted dates, or 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- ½ inch cinnamon stick, or 1/4 teaspoon ground
- ¼ teaspoon salt, optional
Directions
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.
- Blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds, or until heavy steam escapes from the lid plug opening.
Notes
To roast squash easily, split in half, scoop out the seeds if desired, and place flesh side down on a lightly greased baking pan. Pierce skin with a knife in several spots, and roast 350°F (180°C) for 30 minutes.

Vitamix Squash Soup Medley Becomes Pumpkin Soup
Because I combined two Vitamix recipes I didn't want to rate this particular Acorn Squash Soup highly. I don't care for sweet soup but wanted to use freshly baked pumpkin to make an easy soup. I used the 2 cups chicken broth, canned milk, and 1 cup mashed pumpkin in place of the acorn squash from this recipe. But I took the seasonings from the Pumpkin Soup recipe on this website: onions, garlic, brown sugar, paprika, and nutmeg in the same amounts called for in that recipe. It was very simple and we enjoyed it. I will make this combined recipe again. If a person prefers a more distinct pumpkin flavor more pumpkin could certainly be added.

This soup was easy and so delicious
I had everything on hand to make this soup today, and I am so glad that I did! I did substitute the milk for original unsweetened almond milk, otherwise the ingredients stayed the same. I would love to try this with a vegetable or mushroom broth to keep it vegetarian. I found that the acorn squash was naturally sweet, so I would not add any more maple syrup than what was called for.

Amazing soup
I tried a neighbors Vitamix just to try out before I bought it. This soup was good the first time around but yet a little to thin. I added a whole acorn squash instead of half and added pumpkin spice instead of just cinnamon. Turned out awesome!

Super easy and very good!
I pressure cooked the acorn squash, peeled it and followed the Vita Mix recipe. Wow, this is outstanding! It has become a cold weather favorite in my home!

Surprising flavor
Tried the acorn soup as one of the many soup recipes that came with my Vitamix. Surprised at how flavorful it was, and feel the flavors intensified the next day. It’s on my menu for Thanksgiving.

Love It
I have been looking for a sweet squash soup receipt, this fits the bill, however it was very thin because you do not specify how much squash should be used. It just says 1/2 other acorn etc, etc. I would like to know how many cups to make it thick. I buy pre-cut squash from the store.

Tasty
I substituted vegan "chicken " bouillon and soy milk with an unidentified squash (cross-pollinated) from my garden. I was tempted to leave out maple syrup as I didn't want a sweet soup. It was perfect! Great for a quick lunch. I have pounds of the squash precooked in my freezer.
