Jim's Butternut Squash Soup
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss squash cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic, ginger, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon, and turmeric. Cook for 30 seconds.

  3. Add roasted or raw squash to the pot. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes (until squash is tender).

  4. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a high-speed blender to blend until silky smooth. Return to pot, then stir in coconut milk.

  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes on low heat to meld flavors.

  6. Ladle into bowls and top with toasted pumpkin seeds, crispy shallots, chili crisp, coconut cream swirls, or fresh herbs.
