Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or preferred cooking oil)
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1 small yellow onion , diced
  • 2 large carrots , peeled and chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 medium butternut squash , peeled and diced (about 4- 5 cups)
  • 1 large sweet potato , peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth , low sodium *See note
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • A Pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt (or preferred salt), more to taste.
  • fresh cracked pepper , to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk (or any unsweetened plant-based milk)

Instructions

  • In a large soup pot, heat oil & butter over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add carrots and garlic, sauté about 6-7 minutes, until carrots are tender. Add cumin, thyme, and nutmeg, cook for 1-2 minutes. 
  • Add the squash, sweet potato, vegetable broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a slight boil, then reduce to a simmer, cook for about 20-30 minutes or until the veggies are tender.
  • Remove from heat and add the coconut milk & lemon juice. Taste for salt and add as needed.
  • Using a regular blender or an immersion blender, purée the vegetables until it's a smooth & creamy consistency. Place into soup bowls, swirl some coconut milk & add pumpkin seeds on top.

Notes

**Vegetable Broth: I like to use low sodium broth, so I can control the salt taste. Some broths are too salty and can ruin a good recipe. If you would like to use a regular broth, make sure to cut down the added salt in the recipe. Taste as you go along. Another option, is to blend low sodium and regular broth together.
 
*Serve with some warm bread. Garnish with some fresh ground pepper, fresh basil or cilantro.
