Acorn Squash Soup with Turmeric

This Acorn Squash Soup with Turmeric blends roasted acorn squash, apple, and carrot into a creamy base with warming spices like turmeric and ginger. The coconut milk enriches the soup, creating a smooth texture balanced by the subtle sweetness from the apple and butternut squash. Roasting the squash softens the flesh and deepens the flavor, making it a comforting soup option for cooler days. It is finished with simple seasoning and suggested garnishes that add freshness and crunch.
