Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the Kabocha squash in half, remove the seeds, and brush the flesh with olive oil. Place the halves on a baking sheet, cut-side down, and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
-
While the squash is roasting, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened.
-
Scoop out the roasted squash flesh and add it to the pot. Stir in the vegetable broth, coconut milk, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
-
Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender to puree until smooth.
-
Return the soup to the pot and heat it over low heat until warmed through.
-
Serve hot and garnish with a drizzle of coconut milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
