Ingredients

1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs), peeled and cubed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

Salt and black pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.

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

7. Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice, then reheat gently over low heat. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and toasted coconut flakes.
