Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 425F and slice the butternut squashes from top to bottom. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and coat with olive oil. Place each squash cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with foil.
2
Bake at 425F for 1 hour, or until softened and brown. When there's about 20 minutes remaining of roasting, roughly chop the onion and toss on the baking sheet.
3
Once cooked, remove from the oven and place in a blender with the onion, maple syrup, seasoning, apple juice, and water. Blend until smooth, adding vegetable broth if needed.
4
Transfer the soup to a large pot and warm over medium-high heat. Add veggie broth and coconut milk, stir to combine. Bring to a simmer then lower the heat until ready to serve.
5
Ladle into bowls and serve warm. Top with pepitas and serve with bread or dinner rolls. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Maximize Roasting Caramelization 🔥Cut butternut squash into even 1-inch cubes and roast at 425°F for 35-40 minutes, tossing halfway through, to develop deep caramelization that intensifies the soup's natural sweetness.
- Bloom Spices in Oil First 🧂Toast the curry powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in olive oil before adding onions to unlock their essential oils and create a more complex, developed flavor profile throughout the soup.
- Blend in Two Stages ✨Blend half the soup until completely smooth, then fold in the remaining chunky portions to create a luxurious texture with subtle complexity rather than a completely uniform purée.
- Balance Sweet and Savory 🍯Taste the soup before adding maple syrup—start with 2 tablespoons and adjust upward, as the roasted squash and apple juice already provide natural sweetness that can easily become cloying.
- Temper Coconut Milk Smoothly 🥥Whisk coconut milk into the hot soup gradually while stirring constantly to prevent separation and ensure a silky, integrated consistency without visible oil slicks on the surface.
