I just love Panera's autumn squash soup. When the weather starts to cool, it feels like a warm, comforting hug. Unfortunately, my lactose intolerance leaves me missing this beautiful soup. This is a vegan version that checked all the boxes for me. I hope you love it too. I used my instapot, but you can easily adapt this for a crockpot or stove top.

Ingredients

15 minutes

8-10 servings

1small yellow onion
3 clovesgarlic
1 Tbspolive oil
Salt
1/2 tspcurry powder
1 tspcinnamon
1/4 tspnutmeg
1medium butternut squash
1medium apple
1medium carrot
4 cupsvegetable broth
Finely ground pepper
Dashcayenne (optional)
1-1 1/2 cupsextra creamy oatmilk (I used Planet Oat)
1/4-1/2 cuphoney
1 canpureed pumpkin
Pepitas to garnish

Cooking Instructions

15 minutes

1

Set the instapot to saute and add the olive oil, onion, and garlic with a pinch of salt. Stir until the aromatics begin to brown slightly.
2

Add the spices and stir for about 30 seconds.
3

Add the carrot, apple, squash, and broth to the pot.
4

Cover with the lid and set the pot to cook for 15 minutes. It will take a while to pressurize.
5

Allow the pot to depressurize naturally for 15 more minutes, then release.
6

Add in oatmilk, honey, and pumpkin. Using an immersion blender, blend in the pot until extremely smooth. Be careful as the mixture is hot!
7

Once blended, adjust flavor by tasting for salt and spice. Add a dash of cayenne for added warmth. Add honey for extra sweetness.
8

Serve with pepitas and a sprinkle of nutmeg. (I had a blend of sunflower seeds and pepitas)

Autumn weather is certainly my inspiration for this recipe. It gives me the sense of warmth inside during a beautiful autumn day! It's a big hit with family and friends and is much requested during those times where I cater family events, I cut the recipe in half for here.It is also a great vegan recipe, just swap the chicken broth out for vegetable broth and omit the butter.

I was craving soup one day and came up with this while making it. It's very hard to mess up. You can play around with it too. You can use Sage which is more classic in butternut squash soup instead of rosemary and thyme. You can play around with it to suit how you like it.

This is a recipe that was shared by a co-worker. It is her mom's recipe. I have modified some of the proportions. It is a bit spicy, so if you prefer, you can reduce the crushed red chilies to 1/2 tsp.

Well, autumn is among us and we are being bombarded with gourds. The good thing about them is that they keep for a long time and you don’t have to know what you’re going to do with them immediately. So, after I let this marinate on top of the fridge for a week, I came up with this.

Amanda Hesser adapted this recipe from acclaimed chef Thomas Keller. It should be approached as a labor of love because it takes many steps and several hours, but the result is outstanding.#GlobalApron
