Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 3 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • Optional Garnish: Fresh cilantro or a swirl of coconut cream

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the cubed butternut squash and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the squash is very tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup until completely smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend in batches using a standard blender. Return the pureed soup to the pot.
  7. Stir in the full-fat coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Do not boil after adding the coconut milk.
  8. Taste the soup and adjust salt, pepper, or spice levels as needed.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with cilantro or a swirl of coconut cream if you wish.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thinner soup, add a little more broth until you reach your desired consistency.
  • For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash cubes before adding them to the soup pot.
  • This soup freezes well for future enjoyment. Cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
