Steps
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the kabocha squash in half, scoop out the seeds. Add the olive oil to the flesh and cook face down in a glass baking pan. Cook for 35-45 minutes, depending on your oven and altitude cooking time. Flesh should scoop out easily.

4. Add the vegetable stock, turn the heat on high until it boils. Then cover and turn heat on low until the squash is ready.
5. When the squash is ready, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes. Scoop out the flesh and add it to the soup.
6. Cook the soup on medium-low, partially covered for 10 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and either blend with an emersion blender or add to a Vitamix and blend well.
8. Add the zested orange and mix. Enjoy!
