A simple, velvety squash soup that combines the natural sweetness of roasted honeynut squash with the bright, spicy kick of fresh ginger. This comforting dish is easy to make, gluten-free, and perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium honeynut squashes, halved and seeded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and brush cut sides with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place squash cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender. Let cool for 10 minutes, then scoop flesh from skin and discard skins.
  4. While squash roasts, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook for 5 minutes until soft.
  5. Add garlic and grated ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add roasted squash flesh and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and blend until smooth using an immersion blender or countertop blender.
  8. Stir in coconut milk and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Notes

If you cannot find honeynut squash, butternut squash can be used as a substitute, but it must be peeled first. For a richer flavor, swap coconut milk for heavy cream. Deglaze the roasting pan with a little broth to capture extra flavor. Ensure the squash is fully tender before blending to avoid a grainy texture.
