I may be a bit biased, but Fall (ahem... Autumn) is my favorite time of the year - especially for food. Summer has great, fresh produce, but there's nothing quite like cozying up with a stew, baked apples, or roasted veggies. Just this weekend, I made homemade baked apples with cinnamon, oats and a drizzle of heavy whipping cream for dessert and oh myyyyyy goodness. It was amazing. It also got me extra inspired to whip up new Level Up Program approved, fall inspired recipes for YOU!
Today I'm sharing my Roasted Veggie + Ginger Spiced Soup. This is perfect for the Gut Healing Guru 🥥, The Athlete 💪🏻, The Hormone Balancing Pro 🥑, The Beauty QWEEN 💅🏻, and Advanced Weight Loss Strategies🥦 Protocols from the Level Up Program.
Grab your sweater, turn on your fireplace, and cozy up with this totally Fall inspired din din!
Roasted Veggie + Ginger Spiced Soup
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 small butternut squash, cubed (about 4-5 cups)
1 red onion, diced
1 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. cayenne
pinch of sea salt
1 tsp. olive oil
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp. freshly grated or chopped ginger
pinch of sea salt

6 cups water
1/2 cup grass-fed, preferably raw, sharp cheddar (remove if making it vegan)
1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
1. Preheat the oven to 415.
2. On a baking sheet, toss the first 5 ingredients together. Bake for 30 minutes.
3. While the veggies bake, in a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the sweet potato and water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes or until you can easily poke through the sweet potato with a fork.
5. Add the roasted veggies to the pot. Stir and cook for 5 more minutes.
