Ingredients

1 large butternut squash, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon curry powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional garnish: pumpkin seeds, cilantro, and a swirl of coconut milk

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, and ground cumin. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.

Add the diced butternut squash to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

Once the squash is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to carefully purée the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches.

After blending, return the soup to the pot (if necessary) and stir in the coconut milk. Heat over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a swirl of coconut milk, if desired.
