7-Ingredient Fruitarian Soup: Tomato, Acorn Squash & Chayote
A nourishing fruitarian-inspired soup made with tomato, acorn squash, chayote, and lemon. Simple, vegan, clean, and deeply comforting.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe tomatoes chopped (fresh, vine-ripened or Roma work well)
- 1 medium acorn squash halved, seeded, and cubed
- 1 large chayote peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 –5 cups filtered water
- ½ –1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt to taste
- Fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon (add to taste)
Instructions
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
- In a large pot, add: Chopped tomatoes, Cubed acorn squash, Chopped chayote, Filtered water, Pink Himalayan salt, Stir gently to combine.
Step 2: Simmer
- Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 35–40 minutes, or until the acorn squash and chayote are fully tender and the tomatoes have softened into a light broth.
- As the soup simmers, the squash naturally thickens the liquid slightly while the chayote remains soft and delicate.
Step 3: Finish with Olive Oil & Lemon
- Remove from heat. Stir in the olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice, adding gradually and tasting as you go.
- Serve warm, allowing the natural textures of the fruits to remain intact.
