Fall is upon us and there is nothing that screams fall to me like soup! I honestly love soup, I could eat it three times a week and be happy. My husband isn’t much of a soup year-round type person, but lucky for us we live in the frozen tundra six months out of the year so we get to enjoy soup quite a bit!
This soup combines some of my favorite things: carrots, squash, and curry! It is the perfect trifecta of fall. Cozy and warm, with a punch of spice. If you’re a curry lover you’re going to love this Curry Roasted Carrot Soup.
A little note for those of you who haven’t worked with turmeric. It stains SUPER easily, so you can either omit it or be careful what the soup comes in contact with. I use an immersion blender to puree the soup, but you could also use a blender.
