Soup season is upon us and I love getting creative with the flavours and textures I add to my soups. This squash and sage soup in particular is one I have always gone back to. The smell in the oven, when it is roasting, is one of my favourite smells.
To make soups exciting I think it is important to add toppings and a range of textures and @whitworthsUK Californian walnuts are my go-to. Californian Walnuts are the only tree nut to contain a significant amount of the plant-based omega-3 and are low in sugar and salt so a great addition, especially when roasted.
