# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread squash cubes, broccoli florets, chopped onion, and garlic on the prepared sheet.
02 - Drizzle vegetables with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cumin. Toss to coat evenly. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until browned and tender.
03 - Transfer roasted vegetables to a large pot. Add vegetable broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
04 - Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully blend in batches using a countertop blender.
05 - Stir in coconut milk or cream and nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
06 - Reheat gently if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with pumpkin seeds, parsley, and a drizzle of coconut milk or cream if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The oven does the heavy lifting by caramelizing those edges for a deeper flavor.
  • It feels like a luxury meal but mostly uses those reliable pantry staples.
02 -
  • Crowding the baking sheet will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them to perfection.
  • Adding the nutmeg too early can cause it to lose its bright spicy punch.
03 -
  • Blend the soup while it is still hot to ensure the most consistent and airy texture.
  • If the soup feels too thick simply whisk in a splash more broth until it reaches your favorite consistency.
