    Ingredients: 

    To prepare the squash:

    • 4 cups of butternut squash, purchase already cubed 
    • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
    • Pinch of salt

    To prepare the soup:

    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 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)

     

    Directions:

    1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. Pour the soup back into the pot and reheat over medium to low heat, stirring to ensure even mixing.
    7. Serve soup immediately with a drizzle of coconut milk and fresh cilantro if desired and enjoy!
