Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.
- In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, cumin, and curry powder, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the roasted butternut squash, vegetable broth, and rinsed red lentils to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
- Carefully transfer the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Stir in the coconut milk, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor and texture, garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a swirl of dairy-free cream.
