0Ingredients
2 lbs butternut squash , peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion , chopped
2 cloves garlic , finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped gingerroot
3 cups vegetable broth
1 can (13.5 oz.) unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
Directions
- Heat oven to 425 degree F. Spray a large, rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place squash on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, allspice and pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Toss to coat and arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic, ginger and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue to cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the roasted squash and broth and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Working in batches, puree sweet potato mixture until very smooth (see Tip).
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the coconut milk and stir remaining coconut milk into the soup. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until hot. Add more salt if necessary.
- Ladle into serving bowls. Drizzle each bowl with a little of the reserved coconut milk and sprinkle some pumpkin seeds over the top.
Tip: When pureeing hot soup in a blender, never fill the blender more than halfway. Remove the plastic piece in the lid and cover with a dish towel to prevent steam from building. STEP 9 Tip: Looking for a shortcut Pre-cut butternut squash is often found in the produce section of the grocery store.
