Cinnamon Apple Squash Breakfast Soup

This hearty soup makes a delicious breakfast food with the sweetness of the squash, apples, and cinnamon.  I usually double it, so I have plenty in the freezer at all times, and I pull it out for a satisfying and scrumptious breakfast. It’s great any time of the day, too! This recipe is from Chef Martin Oswald, as prepared at a workshop with Dr. Furhman, and it won me over to the nutritarian/plant-based world after I tried it.
