Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
Liquids
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk for creaminess
Spices
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds toasted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped

Method
 

Roast the Vegetables
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the butternut squash and sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes or until tender.
  2. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Blend the Soup
  1. Add the roasted vegetables to the pot along with the vegetable broth, cumin, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
  3. Stir in the coconut milk and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Heat through for another 5 minutes.
Serve
  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds and fresh cilantro.
