  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, cream or other milk

  • Pinch of curry powder
  • Goat cheese
  • 1 loaf sourdough bread, cut into 1” cubes
  • Chopped hazelnuts

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.
