1 whole Sweet Potato, Peeled And Cut Into 1/2 Inch Cubes
1-1/2 Tablespoon Canola Oil, Divided

1 pinch Salt
1 whole Small Onion, Chopped
1 whole Sweet Apple, Chopped
1 clove Garlic, Minced

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2

Combine squash and both potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon curry powder (make them heaping if you'd like), and salt. Toss together to coat vegetables. Arrange in a single layer on baking sheet. Roast for about 30 minutes, until fork tender.
3

When vegetables are almost done, heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a bottom of a large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion and apple. Saute 3-5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, ginger, garam masala, cumin, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Saute 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and heated through. Do not let this burn.
4

Add roasted vegetables and broth. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes, until vegetables are soft and flavors combined.
5

Remove from heat. Stir in orange juice. Blend soup until smooth. Add more juice or broth if needed to thin out the consistency. Serve warm, with cilantro if desired.
