Instructions

Prep
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.Wash and dry all produce. Thinly slice mushrooms. Strip 1 tbsp thyme leaves (dbl for 4 ppl) from stems. Halve buns.

Cook bacon
2

Thinly slice bacon and arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until crispy and cooked through, 8-10 min. **

Start soup
3

While bacon bakes, heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl) then squash and half the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies soften slightly, 2-3 min. Add broth concentrates, garlic puree, thyme and 2 3/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered until squash is fork-tender, 8-10 min.

Cook mushrooms
4

While squash cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then mushrooms and remaining onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden-brown, 6-8 min. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake melts
5

Arrange buns on another baking sheet, cut-side up. Brush each half with Dijon, then top with cheese. Toast buns in the middle of the oven until cheese is golden, 3-4 min (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Top bottom buns with mushrooms, bacon and top buns.

Finish soup
6

Add cream to the large pot with squash, then stir to combine. Remove pot from heat. Using a potato masher, carefully mash squash soup until desired texture is reached. Season with salt and pepper. (NOTE: If you have a hand blender, blend soup for 1 min until smooth). Divide soup between bowls. Halve bacon and mushroom melts, then serve alongside. Sprinkle pepitas over soup.
