This easy spaghetti squash soup is a versatile autumn soup recipe that you’ll love this season. It’s warming and easy to make. I love serving soup with spaghetti squash on top. It’s a great addition and give the soup a nice roasted flavor.

This recipe uses just a few ingredients, including:

• Ground turkey, or use your favorite ground meat or plant-based crumbles
• Veggies, including onion, celery and sweet potato or carrot
• Roasted spaghetti squash

Equipment

• Baking sheet
• Soup pot

Ingredients

• 1 large spaghetti squash halved lengthwise and seeds discarded
• 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 yellow onion peeled and diced
• 2 sweet potatoes peeled and diced
• 3 ribs celery trimmed and diced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons dry thyme
• 15- ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 6 cups water or chicken stock
• Salt pepper, and crushed red pepper to taste

Instructions

Roast the spaghetti quash:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Drizzle the cut side of the squash halves with 1 tablespoon oil. Season all over with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, cut side down and transfer to the oven. Roast for 30-40 minutes until well-browned and cooked through. Turn off the oven and leave the squash in the warm oven.

Cook the turkey:

• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up as it cooks. Season all over with salt and pepper and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Remove the turkey from the pot and transfer to a plate.

Sauté the aromatics:

• If the pot seems dry, add another teaspoon of oil and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the onion, sweet potato, and celery and season all over with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes until fragrant and just beginning to soften.
• Melt the butter into the pot. Once melted, add the dry thyme and as much crushed red pepper as you like. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Simmer the soup:

• Return the turkey to the pot and add the diced tomatoes and water or stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and season once more to your preferences.

To serve:

• Remove the squash from the oven and use a fork to scrape the squash from its skin.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and add a few spoonfuls of roasted squash on top of each bowl. Finish with freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
