Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium butternut squashes (about 3 lbs total), halved and seeds removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 40-50 minutes until tender.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Once the squash is roasted and slightly cooled, scoop out the flesh into the pot with onions and garlic. Add vegetable broth and coconut milk, mixing well.
  4. Sprinkle in cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil before reducing heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve hot with optional toppings like toasted pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of olive oil.
