Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.

- Pour in the vegetable broth and roasted butternut squash. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
- Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!
