    List of Ingredients




    * 3 small acorn squash
    * 3 large leeks
    * 1 TB safflower oil
    * 7 cups water
    * 1/2 tsp salt or 2 TB white miso
    * 3/4 cup rolled oats
    * parsley for garnish

    Recipe



    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. Cut the acorn squash in half, lengthwise and remove seeds. Cut a small slice off the skin side of each half to make a squash bowl that won't roll over. Bake, skin side down, until tender, about 40 minutes.
    3. While the squash is baking, cut the leeks in half and thinly slice. Wash thoroughly and drain. In a small pot, sauté leeks in oil until they wilt. Add water, oats, and salt, and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer 40 minutes. Pureé soup in small batches, leaving some texture to the soup. Adjust seasonings.
    4. Place each baked acorn squash half in separate bowls. Ladle soup into acorn bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve.
