In the wintertime, soup is my go-to lunch option. It is quick and easy (score!) and warms you up from the inside out. I fell in love with Costco’s Organic Tomato Soup last year, but my sister introduced me to an amazing Pinterest find last time I was home – butternut squash soup!

I love things with a bit of spice, so the curry powder in this soup recipe was a pleasant surprise! When I made the soup at home myself, I added a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to give it an additional kick. However, this can easily be skipped over if you are not a fan of spicy food.

As the recipe suggested, I topped my soup with pumpkin seeds and added my own twist with a sprinkle of fresh chives. Feel free to get creative and add a bit of crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, or homemade croutons!

If you make this soup at home make sure to use the hashtag #beautyandblooms. I would love to see photos!
