This is a mellow, warming soup. The grains make it a bit more substantial and add some texture. #vegetarian #vegan #healthy

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 200C.
2

In a bowl mix the squash pieces with 1 tbsp of the oil. Season. Put the squash onto a lined baking tray and roast for about 25 - 30 mins.
3

Heat the rest of the oil in a pot. Add the onions and celery and sauté for about 10 mins til they soften and start to become translucent.
4

Add the garlic and ginger. Cook for 2 mins.
5

Chop 5 or 6 of the sage leaves and add those too.
6

Add the roast squash and the stock. Season. Simmer for 5-10 mins. If you want, use a hand blender to make a smooth soup. I usually leave it with the vegetables chunky.
7

Fry the remaining sage leaves in a splash of oil. Stir these through the cooked grain you’re using. Add a generous pinch of salt.
8

Add the grain/ sage mix to the soup. Serve into bowls; sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds and parmesan if using and enjoy 😋
