This velvety soup gets its deep flavor from caramelized roasted butternut squash, warmed through with fresh ginger, turmeric, and a whisper of cinnamon that gives every spoonful a golden, cozy glow. Sautéed onion and garlic build a fragrant base, while a can of full-fat coconut milk stirred in at the end lends the broth its signature creaminess without ever needing dairy. A bright squeeze of lemon juice cuts through the richness and keeps things balanced, and a scattering of dry-roasted pepitas on top adds the perfect crunch. Because the seasoning here is fully in your hands rather than dictated by a pre-mixed broth or spice blend, it's easy to build this bowl exactly to taste. It's a comforting, restaurant-quality soup that works beautifully for anyone keeping an eye on their sodium intake.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the squash halves cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the cut surfaces with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the squash for 40–45 minutes, until the flesh is completely tender when pierced with a fork and the cut edges are golden and caramelized.
