Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 kg butternut squash, halved lengthwise, seeded

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion

  • 1 tbsp chopped garlic

  • 1 tbsp chopped ginger

  • 6 cups sodium-free chicken broth

  • 1 400-mL can coconut milk

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup, mixed with 1/4 tsp chili oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F.

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place squash on baking sheet cut-side down and roast for 50 min, or until cut side is browned and squash is tender when pierced with a fork.

  • Let cool slightly, then use a spoon to scoop out all the flesh. Set aside.

  • Add squash and stir to combine. Add chicken stock and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Turn heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 10 min.

  • Purée soup with an immersion blender until completely smooth. Season with salt. Drizzle servings with about 1⁄4 tsp maple chili oil.
