This velvety soup gets its deep color and natural sweetness from tender butternut squash, simmered until it falls apart at the touch of a fork. Warm ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg build a cozy, fragrant base, while a can of full-fat coconut milk blended straight into the pot gives the soup its signature richness and silky texture. A touch of maple syrup and a bright squeeze of lemon juice balance out the warming spices beautifully. Everything purees together into one smooth, spoonable bowl using just an immersion blender or countertop blender, so there's minimal cleanup involved. Finish it with a swirl of coconut cream and a scatter of toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch, and you've got a comforting, cold-weather favorite that fits neatly into a gluten free lineup.
