INGREDIENTS:
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 Gala apples, quartered
1 fennel bulb, quartered
4 medium leeks, (white parts) sliced
3-4 cloves of garlic (with their skins)
2-3 Tbs olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 C vegetable stock
½ tsp yellow curry powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ C green onion, sliced
½ C toasted cashews, chopped
Croutons

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 425.

Lightly coat the sweet potatoes with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay them out on a large baking sheet. (You will need two baking sheets.) I added four apple quarters to this pan as well.
Coat the fennel and leeks with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place onto another baking sheet, along with the other apple quarters.

Place the garlic cloves in the middle of a small square of foil and drizzle with oil; close the foil around the cloves and place onto one of the baking sheets.

Roast for 35 minutes.

Next, transfer the vegetables and garlic (removed from the skins) to a blender or food processor. You may have to divide it all in half and do two batches. I was able to fit everything in my blender. Add about 2 cups of the vegetable stock and blend everything for a minute or so. Add about another 1-1/4 cups of stock and
puree until there are no longer any large chunks of vegetables.
Transfer the puree to a soup pot and whisk in the remaining stock. Add the curry, salt, and pepper. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring often. Once hot all the way through, serve the soup with croutons, green onion, and toasted cashews. Enjoy!

Meet April Moore – Founder of Epicurean Vegan

Epicurean VeganThe Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started
out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
