Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium honeynut squash (or 3 small)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: toasted pumpkin seeds, extra coconut milk, fresh thyme, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash honeynut squash (no need to peel).
  2. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Toss with 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil and a pinch of salt. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender and caramelized.
  3. While squash roasts, dice onion, mince garlic, and grate ginger.
  4. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  5. Add garlic and ginger; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Remove squash from oven, let cool slightly, then scoop flesh into the pot.
  7. Add vegetable broth, coconut milk, maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 5 minutes.
  8. Blend soup until smooth using an immersion blender (or regular blender in batches, being careful with hot liquid). Adjust seasoning to taste.
  9. Serve hot with desired toppings.

Notes

For the silkiest texture, blend for a full 60 seconds. If using a regular blender, let soup cool slightly and blend in batches, holding lid with a towel. Season in layers for best flavor. Coconut milk may separate after freezing; whisk while reheating.
