Steps:
- Cook's Note: For a substitute for curry powder, combine 2 teaspoons turmeric, 1 1/2 teaspoons each ground cumin and ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon each ground mustard and ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoon each ground cinnamon and cayenne pepper. For the curried squash soup: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Dress the squash with the EVOO to coat lightly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and a little freshly grated nutmeg, and coat with the curry powder. Drizzle the honey all over and roast until golden on the edges and very tender, about 25 minutes. The spices will toast with the squash and fill the air with a terrific aroma. Meanwhile heat a drizzle of EVOO in a soup pot over medium to medium-high heat, and then add the butter to melt. Stir in the garlic, carrots, apples and onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, partially covered, until softened, about 10 minutes. Pour in the stock and a drizzle of honey (or chutney). Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 20 minutes. Add the roasted squash and puree with an immersion blender, thinning the soup with water if necessary. The soup can alternately be pureed in batches in a food processor or high-power blender. Adjust the seasoning. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal, bringing to room temperature before reheating over a medium flame. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro. For the apple and cheddar melts: Spread each bread slice with softened butter on 1 side and chutney on the other. Fill the sandwiches, chutney sides-in, with the cheese and apples in the center. Griddle the sandwiches over medium heat until deeply golden and the cheese has melted.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash. For this recipe, butternut squash is the best choice because of its sweet and nutty flavor. However, you can also use other types of squash, such as acorn squash or kabocha squash.
- Roast the squash before adding it to the soup. This will help to caramelize the squash and bring out its natural sweetness.
- Use a good quality curry powder. A good curry powder will give the soup a rich and flavorful taste. Look for a curry powder that contains a variety of spices, such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your liking. If you like your soup spicy, add more curry powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of curry powder or omit the cayenne pepper altogether.
- Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include chopped cilantro, yogurt, or croutons.
