vegan, gluten_free, dairy_free
Ingredients
1-2 tbsp olive oil (for the squash)
Pinch of salt (for the squash)
2 tbsp olive oil (for the soup)
¾ cup sweet onion finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ¼ tsp ginger, crushed
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp cinnamon
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 can of light coconut milk
1-2 cups vegetable broth
Cilantro (optional)
1 scoop of black rice (optional add-in)
Roasted chicken or other protein of choice (optional add-in)
Steps
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Using your clean hands, place your cubed butternut squash on a large baking sheet and mix with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake in your oven for 40-50 minutes, or until squash is fork tender.
Next sauté your vegetables. In a medium pot, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil and your onion. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger. Continue cooking over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the salt, cayenne, cinnamon, coconut milk, and broth, stirring to combine ingredients. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low, and let ingredients simmer for 5 minutes.
Once squash is done cooking, add the roasted squash and your coconut milk mixture to a high-speed blender. Blend for 2-3 minutes or until contents are completely smooth.
Pour the soup back into the pot and reheat over medium to low heat, stirring to ensure even mixing.
Serve soup immediately with a drizzle of coconut milk and fresh cilantro if desired and enjoy!
