Makes 2 to 4 servings

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
3 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 3 cups)
2 cups vegetable stock
3/4 cup canned coconut milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to Make It

1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the rosemary and squash and cook for another minute.
3. Add the stock and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the squash can easily be pierced with a fork.
4. Season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, either directly in the pot with an immersion blender or by carefully transferring the hot soup to a blender.
