Instructions
Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Butternut Squash:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place carrots and tomatoes on foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle pumpkin oil, balsamic vinegar and honey on the sweet potatoes and butternut squash and tomatoes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
2. Roast for 25-35 minutes, until the interior can be easily pierced with a fork. Scoop up contents and place in a separate dish.
Prepare Soup:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in large soup pot over medium-low heat. Add onions, shallots, garlic and sweat until translucent and soft. Add in the butternut squash and sweet potato. Cook for 5 minutes and remove from heat.
2. Pour in 1-2 cups vegetable stock. Add just enough stock to cover the surface of the contents of the soup (you can always add more stock later to thin down, if necessary!)
3. Season with garam masala, turmeric, paprika, curry powder, a bay leaf and a sprig of thyme.
4. Bring soup to a low simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes. Remove the bay and thyme sprig.
5. Using an immersion blender or stand blender and coconut butter and milk, blend soup until smooth—you may need to do this in two batches depending on your size blender. Place soup back in pot and reheat to serve. Season and add a final splash of lime.
