Roast veg or even just roast squash makes a lovely warming soup.  When I roast the veg I add chilli, olive oil, sea salt and black pepper etc.  Then the whole lot gets turned into soup.  I use veg stock and ground cloves 

When I roast veggies I always make more than I need as I love this soup

I often sprinkle a few pinches of curry spices over mine

Cloves is one of my curry spices. I love the lot of them but cloves is a good strong one

The addition of some Harissa paste when roasting the squash is very nice, then the whole lot is liquidisers for soup. Gives a nice spice to the soup.

I want to make my own Harissa paste with all the red chillies I've got    Never made any before and love a challenge

a bit late to the party, but grated ginger is also good, with some nutmeg and chilli.
