Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high. Sauté shallot until softened, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add butternut squash cubes and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 12 minutes until squash is completely tender.

  3. Step 3

    Carefully blend soup until completely smooth using an immersion blender, working in batches if needed.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm on low heat.
