Vegan Turmeric Butternut Squash Soup with Roasted Seeds

Eating clean doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the flavors you love – far from it. This healthy butternut squash soup, which is loaded with antioxidants, is a perfect example. Thanks to golden turmeric, it’s a wildly vibrant, show-stopping dish – but the real kicker is the slight heat from crushed red pepper flakes. This spicy addition blends in perfectly with other savors and lends extra depth and deliciousness to this warming soup.
