Butternut Squash Soup

Preheat the Oven: 

Set your oven to 390°F (200°C).

Prepare the Vegetables: 

You can either peel and chop the butternut squash, or, simply cut the squash in half for roasting. 

Note: 

Halving the squash will require a longer roasting time, while chopping the vegetables smaller will speed up the cooking process.

Season the Vegetables: 

Add the seasonings (pepper, cumin, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and chilli flakes) to the vegetables. 

Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. 

If halving the squash, drizzle olive oil on the exposed flesh. 

Cover the dish with aluminium foil.

Roasting: 

Roast for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the vegetables are golden and soft inside. If you've chopped the vegetables smaller, the roasting time can be reduced. If you've halved the butternut squash, expect a longer roasting time. 

For the last 10 minutes, remove the aluminium foil to allow the vegetables to caramelise slightly.

Blending: 

Once roasted, scoop out the flesh of the butternut squash (if halved) and transfer all the vegetables to a blender. 

Add the vegetable broth and ginger (if using), and blend until smooth and creamy.

Cooking the Soup: 

Pour the blended mixture into a pot and place it on medium heat. 

Stir in the coconut milk and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing everything to warm through.

Final Touch: 

Adjust the seasonings to your taste. 

Garnish with fresh cilantro, a drizzle of coconut milk, and a pinch of chilli flakes or some chilli oil if desired.
