Preparation

Step 1

1. Place squash halved face down on baking sheet and bake about 45 minutes at 350 degrees, or until soft enough to easily pierce with a fork (if you're in a hurry you can peel and boil the squash, but the baking give a nicer flavor and is slightly less work).

2. Place apples in a large pot with vegetable broth, nutmeg, coconut milk, thyme, seaweed, parsley, and pepper. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally until apples are soft (not mushy). Cool for a few minutes and then place into blender and puree.

3. If you bake the squash allow it to cool until you can touch it without burning yourself. Then peel skin off, dice, and put into blender with water.If you boiled it just cool and place in blender. Blend until creamy. Combine with mixture in pot. At this point you can play around with the flavor by adding more of any of the spices that you like. Serve with cinnamon and nutmeg sprinkled (or more thyme and pepper if you like savory flavors better) on top.
