Eating this delicious, vegan-friendly soup is the perfect way to warm up on a cool fall night. It's also a great recipe for apple-picking season, as I like to add sliced apples for a tasty twist.
I find steaming the squash much easier than roasting it in the oven, but you're welcome to roast it if you prefer.
