Acorn Squash and Turmeric Soup
Combine the nutritional benefits of chicken broth, acorn squash, and turmeric with the fragrance and flavor kick of green curry paste.
Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash, cooked, peeled, seeded (about 550g or 4 cups)
- 960 ml (4 cups) chicken stock
- 1 Tablespoon green curry paste
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
- Select Variable 1.
- Start machine, slowly increase to Variable 10, then to High.
- Blend for 5 minutes 35 seconds.
Notes
Processing certain herbs and spices in the container/cup will result in cosmetic marring of the container/cup and may cause the blades to wear prematurely. Traces of sand, coarse gritty and abrasive herbs will also cause the blades to wear prematurely. Herbs may contain volatile oils, cause the container/cup to retain the oils and cause permanent discoloration.

One "other" acorn squash?
Please correct the error in the ingredients list. Is that meant to be one "large"?

Tumeric Tips
loved this recipe and even up-ed the tumeric which has shown great promise in scientific community on cognition protection! as well as an anti-inflammatory and immune enhancer.
Add a tiny amount of black pepper as it increases bioavailability of the tumeric.
Also the staining can be addressed with sunlight. The yellow chemical is photo-sensitive.
if on counter, try hydrogen peroxide.

"OTHER"?
The recipe sounds delicious, but I have a question. What is meant by "1 OTHER" acorn squash? A suggested weight would be helpful, too.

Caution!
This recipe turned my Vitamix container an ugly green. Vitamix customer service had me try a number of cleaning methods, but none worked. I am pleased that Vitamix is sending me a replacement container at no cost to me.

correction for the recipe
I called them and they said that it was obviously an error. It should state 4 cups (550g) of squash...

Pretty good
So disclaimer: I substituted butternut squash for acorn and red curry paste for green (because they were what was already in my kitchen).
Pros: very flavorful (I will back off the curry paste next time or try it with green), very few ingredients, very easy to put together, perfectly warming for the snowy winter afternoon we made it, cutting the quantities in half made a generous amount for lunch and dinner with another two meals put in the freezer.
Cons: Pretty spicy, directions were a little unclear in terms of squash quantity, if I had used the quantities described in the original recipe it would have overflowed my container and probably gone bad before I had time to eat it.
On the whole, pretty tasty and I will probably try again with some minor adjustments.
