Dairy Free Butternut Squash Soup with Coconut Milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl add your cut vegetables and drizzle with olive oil. Add all of your seasonings and gently toss to coat. Dump on a baking sheet.

• Place into oven and roast for 1 hour. Remove pan from the oven and allow vegetables to cool slightly. Then remove skins from garlic cloves.
• In small batches, place cooked and softened vegetables into a food processor with a a quarter cup of broth or so. You could use an immersion blender in a pot as well.
• Pulse until desired consistency is achieved.  Pour into a pot. Work in batches like this repeating the process until all vegetables have been pureed.
• Mix soup, and add in remaining broth, less for a thicker soup. Turn pot on medium heat to warm or reheat soup. If desired, add in heavy cream (or coconut milk) for a creamy butternut squash soup.

When served feel free to add things to the top like some nutmeg, drizzle of maple syrup, toasted pumpkin seeds or a dollop of coconut cream. Once you’re done you may have some left over, it saves quite well. Allow to cool and then transfer into a sealed container. Reheat in a pot or microwave, stirring until warmed.

• We love our healthy Crockpot split pea soup recipe that is quite simple and really hearty too.
• Crockpot Italian wedding soup is a must with either frozen or homemade meatballs inside.
