I was looking for a perfect antidote to a wintry evening. A comforting bowl of winter squash soup paired with golden cheddar cheese toast is the perfect answer. The soup, made from butternut squash, boasts a velvety texture and a sweet, earthy depth spiced with curry, cinnamon and cumin. Beside it, crisp slices of bread with warm melted, tangy cheddar cheese complement the soup’s natural sweetness.
