Serves: 4 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 35-40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium-sized fresh butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup coconut milk or coconut cream

Instructions

Heat  the olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic cloves, sauté until translucent.

Add the butternut squash and carrots to the pot.

Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth.

Add the grated ginger, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once the mixture comes to a boil, cover the pot and simmer the soup over low heat for about 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of coconut milk and a chunk of crusty bread.
