Turn squash face down on cookie sheet. Set garlic aside (should be added half way through cooking time).

  4. Scoop squash out of skin and add to Vitamix or blender. Add remainder of veggies, maple syrup, nutmeg, salt & pepper. Add chicken stock gradually and use enough until desired consistency is reached (you may require more than indicated above depending how thick you like it). Then add 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil.
  5. If using a Vitamix: set to soup setting and you are done!
  6. If you are using a regular blender: blend, transfer to soup pot and bring to a simmer for 15 min.
  7. Serve topped with drizzled olive oil and chickpea croutons (see recipe). Alternatively, you can drizzle with olive oil and sea salt.
