A velvety, creamy soup made with roasted honeynut squash and coconut milk, perfect for cozy weeknight dinners or impressing guests. This budget-friendly recipe is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and packed with sweet, savory flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Honeynut squash (about 2 lbs total)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: toasted pumpkin seeds, coconut cream, fresh thyme leaves, chili oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut each honeynut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and place cut-side up on a lined baking sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast 35–45 minutes until fork-tender and caramelized. Let cool slightly.
  2. While squash roasts, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook 5–7 minutes until soft and translucent. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Scoop roasted squash flesh into the pot. Add vegetable broth, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Stir to combine, breaking up large chunks. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend until completely smooth. Alternatively, let cool 5 minutes, then blend in batches in a regular blender (vent lid to release steam).
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If too thick, add extra broth or water. Ladle into bowls and garnish as desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Roasting the squash is key for deep flavor. For a thicker soup, use less broth or add a potato. This soup tastes even better the next day. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
