Acorn Squash Soup





I am a huge fan of squashes.  I have never had acorn squash before so I bought one to make into a soup.  I divided, seeded, peeled, and cubed one acorn squash and boiled the cubes in chicken stock.  I also added 3 cubed potatoes to the chicken stock.  I used just enough chicken stock to cover the squash and potatoes.  Once they were tender enough, I removed the squash and potatoes and left the stock in the pot to continue to reduce.  I put the squash and potatoes in my food processor to make a puree.  Once pureed, I added the mixture back into the stock and let it continue to reduce while I seasoned the soup.  For serving, I added sour cream to my soup, which made it really creamy.
