Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 medium butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cubed
• 2 thumb-sized fresh ginger peeled and minced
• 1 medium yellow onion diced

• to taste black pepper
• 1/4 cup coconut milk for creaminess and flavor

Equipment

7. Let the soup heat through for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently. The soup should be smooth, warm, and fragrant, with a vibrant orange hue and a subtle sheen on top.
