About:

As the weather turns colder, I always think about making soup. Perhaps it’s because I start craving warm, hearty foods and seem to have a larger appetite. This squash soup is transformed from an ordinary recipe into an extraordinary with addition of spices and by topping with roasted nuts.

I like to add a handful of toasted pumpkin seeds to my soup too, as they give a wonderful burst of plant protein, which will give you extra energy. But even better they add the perfect crunch to every bite!
