Roasted squash soup with almond “bacon”

Ingredients

Directions

It’s autumn: leaves are falling from trees, weather gets colder and we finally can start turning on the oven in the kitchen and having warm meals. Also, pumpkin season is finally here and one of our favorite way to eat it is soup. Roasting the butternut squash in the oven with spices allow the veggies to caramelize and be sweeter and heartier. Also, this means way less effort but so much flavor. You just need to put the veggies in the oven and heat some stock and then blend it until nice and creamy! It’s really easy as 1 2 3. Here the soup is paired with some crunchy, salty nut “bacon” made with almonds instead of the usual coconut. With this recipe, you’ll get way more almond bacon than you need for the soup, but you won’t be disappointed: eat it, like us, in the morning on avocado toast or just put it in a bag for a quick snack while you’re out!

Steps

Start with almond “bacon”: in a bowl, season almond flakes with tamari, olive oil, maple syrup, smoked salt and paprika and mix it well until all seasoned.

In the meantime, heat the stock until very hot.

In the jug of the hand blender, put the roasted veggies, fresh grated ginger and turmeric and the hot vegetable stock and blend until you get a smooth soup.
