How To Make Vegan Spicy Squash Soup…
This is a Sweet Meat Squash

Preheat the oven at 180c. Put the Squash, onion and garlic on a baking tray. Drizzle on the oil, then sprinkle on the smoked salt, garlic pepper, celery salt and hot paprika. Roast for 40 minutes.
Before roasting 
After roasting
When the veg is roasted, transfer them into a saucepan, add the stock and the rest of the ingredients to it, then bring it to the boil before lowering the temperature to a simmer.
After 10 minutes simmering it’s time to puree it. Whatever kitchen aid you have, whether its a hand blender, food processor, fancy soup blender thing, it doesn’t matter, just as long as you blend your soup until it’s smooth and creamy.
Now let the soup simmer for another five minute and try it. Add more seasoning if you desire and then cook for a bit longer. When ready, serve with sunflower seeds on top for some crunch. Now just enjoy your soup as you watch the rain fall.
