Sabrina’s Acorn Squash Soup Recipe
Acorn Squash is slightly milder in flavor than butternut squash, which is more frequently used for soups and for stuffing, like in my Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe. This makes a more savory, but equally delicious recipe, and it is the perfect soup to enjoy with your family throughout the fall. The warm dish is wonderfully comforting, and packed with seasonal flavor. It’s creamy, filling, nutty, and savory.

I don’t see when to add the Worcestershire sauce ?
Thanks for bringing this oversight in the instructions to our attention Linda. It’s added in step 11 with the squash and broth. I have updated the recipe card. Please let us know what you think of the recipe!
