If you've been following our blog for a while, you can probably tell that we're big fans of soup. It's my go-to dinner - hot soups, cold soups, puréed soups, chilis - I'll take 'em all.

They're easy to make, easy to eat, easy to pack with plenty of vegetables. Altogether, just the perfect meal! And way more fun than eating salad. Agreed? (Although I do like an nice soup and salad combo. Wait, no. Scratch that. Soup + sandwich is way better!)

The best part of a puréed soup (like this one) is arguably the toppings. In this case, we've opted for a drizzle of coconut milk, pepitas, fresh sage, plenty of freshly cracked black pepper, and the best part: Simple Mills Sprouted Seed Crackers!

These crackers are a new favorite. I've always been obsessed with Simple Mills Almond Flour crackers - we use them all the time for snacking + serving with dips. While I still adore them, I just recently tried these Sprouted Seed Crackers for the first time and totally fell in love!

They're super crunchy, seedy, and of course, completely plant-based and grain free. I love eating them straight from the box, but they also make for a fantastic soup topping. Think oyster crackers, but crunchier, wayyyy more delicious and (as an added bonus) more nutritious!

In addition to crushing them and using as a garnish for the soup, I also like to serve some of the whole crackers on the side for dipping. So good!

We're so thrilled to be sharing another collaboration with Simple Mills. This time, we're also partnering up with our friend Kelly over at Nosh & Nourish.

We recently had a chance to meet the Simple Mills team at Expo East in Baltimore!

It makes me so happy to see a brand like Simple Mills doing so well. We've been using their products since the beginning and have always been huge fans. Over the years, they've not only introduced several new products, but they've also grown tremendously.

Simple Mills products are now available at thousands of popular retailers around the country. Locally, those include Whole Foods, Kroger, Costco, several smaller stores, and Meijer! So excited to see products like Simple Mills popping up in Meijer - definitely head to your local store to check it out ASAP. Check out the Simple Mills store locator here!

If you can refrain from eating the entire box of crackers right after picking it up from the store, give this vegan carrot apple ginger soup a try! It couldn't be easier to throw together.

Essentially, the soup starts out with a base of delicious onions, celery, garlic and ginger. Once those are fragrant and tender, all you have to do is throw everything else into the pot and let it simmer!

Peeled granny smith apples add sweetness and tartness, while fresh ginger packs a huge flavor punch. We've also included some favorite fall veggies, including carrots and butternut squash. These fall root vegetables add plenty of body to the soup and blend up into a perfectly creamy, luscious soup.

Speaking of blending, you can either use a regular blender or an immersion blender once all of the vegetables are tender. While a regular blender may produce smoother results, an immersion blender usually means less mess.

I usually opt for an immersion blender unless I'm blending something a bit tougher, like celery root. If you do use a blender, be sure your blender is heat-safe and take care when transferring hot liquids!
