Ingredients

2 lbs butternut squash, peeled and cubed

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp ginger, grated

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup canned coconut milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

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

4. Add the garlic and ginger, sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, cooking for 1 minute to toast the spices.

6. Add the roasted squash to the pot, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.

7. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender.

8. Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Storage

Store the cooled soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheating

Reheat gently on the stove over medium heat until warmed through, adding a bit of water or broth if the soup is too thick.
