Ingredients

• 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp grated ginger

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• ½ tsp ground turmeric

• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

• 3 cups vegetable broth

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Juice of ½ lime

• Fresh cilantro or pumpkin seeds for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Roast the Butternut Squash

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Spread it out on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, until soft and caramelized.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion for 3–4 minutes until translucent.

Add the garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the cumin, turmeric, and cinnamon, letting the spices toast for about 30 seconds.

3. Blend the Soup

Add the roasted butternut squash to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.

If using a regular blender, blend in batches and return the soup to the pot.

4. Add the Coconut Milk & Seasoning

Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat to let the flavors meld.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or pumpkin seeds.

Serve warm with crusty bread or a side of rice for a complete meal.
