Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place cubed squash onto the prepared pan with sage, other herbs of choice, sea salt and 2 tbsp oil. Mix together and roast for 35-45 minutes until golden.
Step 2
Next, in a pan over medium-low heat, heat 2 tbsp oil. Saute the onion, celery, and pepper in the pan until caramelized.
Step 3
Then, place the roasted squash and sauteed vegetables into a blender. Add in salt, pepper, vegetable stick, milk, apple cider, apple cider vinegar, and curry powder to the blender. Blend on high until thick and creamy.
Step 4
Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
To make the croutons, brush the bread cubes with remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook in a 350℉ oven for 20-25 minutes.
Step 6
Serve soup with chopped hazelnuts, diced apples, a swirl of cream, and homemade croutons.
