Follow these easy steps to create your Butternut Squash Soup:

1. Prep the Ingredients: Peel and cube the butternut squash. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Squash: Stir in the cubed butternut squash, coating it with the oil and aromatics.
4. Pour in Stock: Add the vegetable stock, ensuring the squash is fully submerged. Bring to a boil.
5. Season: Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and let simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the squash is tender.
6. Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender or a standard blender, carefully purée the soup until smooth and creamy.
7. Add Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the coconut milk and heat over low for an additional 5 minutes.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.
9. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with desired toppings.
