Autumn Squash Soup

Have you ever tried the Autumn Squash Soup at Panera Bread? It is one of my favorite soups. I didn't realize it wasn't vegan until I looked at a similar recipe. So I decided I wanted to come up with a vegan version of this soup.

You may be a little reluctant of trying squash soup, and I don't blame you because I was as well. But it was love at first taste. So here is the vegan version.



Recipe

1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and chopped

1 Tbsp canola oil

salt to taste


Heat oven to 450. Mix chopped butternut squash with canal oil and salt. Roast for 25 minutes. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Puree in blender until very smooth.


1 15 oz can pumpkin

1 cup vegetable broth

1 cup apple cider

1 cup coconut milk

1-1/2 Tbsp honey

1/4 tsp curry

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1-1/2 tsp salt


In a large food processor, blend pureed squash and pumpkin, pouring vegetable broth, apple cider, and coconut milk through the top while blending.

Pour into sauce pan and heat over medium to a gentle boil. Add honey and spices. Simmer on low for 10 minutes and serve.
