Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss squash cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. In a large pot, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, and carrot for 5–7 minutes until soft.

  4. Remove from heat and blend until smooth using an immersion blender or in batches in a high-speed blender.
  5. Stir in coconut milk and adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve hot, drizzled with extra coconut milk, and topped with pumpkin seeds and optional croutons.
