MY SPICED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SWEET POTATO, CARROT AND ORANGE SOUP
This was inspired by my other butternut squash soup recipe (#402703). The orange flavoring is optional. I use pre-cut, cubed squash when I can find it or frozen squash. You can also use a small fresh butternut squash. (The prep time assumes you are using pre-cut or frozen squash.) I use almond milk in this recipe (I like Almond Breeze) instead of cream or half and half. You can save a little time by roughly chopping the onion and garlic, because the soup will be pureed later. I do chop the ginger rather finely because it is so fibrous, and I don't want lumps in the soup that didn't get pureed.

Steps:
- If you are using a fresh butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Peel it and cut it into 1-inch chunks.
- Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it softens, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger root and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking, peel and dice the sweet potato and carrots.
- Add the cut vegetables and broth; bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook at a gentle boil until the squash is fork-tender, about 20 minutes (but this depends on the size of your squash cubes).
- Puree the soup in several stages in a blender. For safety's sake, since the soup is hot, do not fill the jar more than about 1/4 full each time, and blend on a low speed, covering the lid with an oven mitt. The soup should be completely smooth and a little thicker than heavy cream.
- Rinse your soup pot to remove any small chunks of food and strain it if you like (I do not strain).
- Heat the soup through again and season to taste with cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and salt.
- Add some almond milk, a little at a time, to give soup a creamier consistency. (Instead of almond milk or Almond Breeze, you could probably use soy or rice milk or half and half).
- Just before serving, add about 2-3 teaspoons fresh orange juice (or to taste) to each bowl, if desired; stir to blend into soup.
- This soup tastes fine when it has been reheated. The soup will thicken as it chills, so you may want to add extra spice right at the start, if you know you will be re-heating some later. You will need extra Almond Breeze to thin it out after it has been refrigerated. I have kept it in the fridge for as long as 4 days and it was fine.
- You can sub pumpkin pie spice for the ground spices listed.
- Because the veggies make the broth very flavorful, you can also use half chicken broth and half water (2 cups of each) with good results.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and has a deep, orange color. Avoid squash that has blemishes or bruises.
- Peel and cube the squash: Use a sharp knife to peel the squash, then cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
- Roast the squash: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
- Make the carrot mixture: While the squash is roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the curry powder, cumin, and ginger. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Combine the squash and carrots: Add the roasted butternut squash to the skillet with the carrots. Stir to combine.
- Add the coconut milk and broth: Pour the coconut milk and vegetable broth into the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Season to taste: Taste the curry and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add salt, pepper, or additional spices to taste.
- Serve: Serve the curry over rice or quinoa. Garnish with cilantro or parsley.
