Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
- 1 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped

- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions
1
Initiate the cooking process by warming oil in a large pot over a low flame. Introduce the onion and ginger into the pot; cook gently, stirring frequently until they become tender and lose their raw appearance without developing a rich brown color, approximately 10 minutes. Add the butternut squash and carrot to the pot; cook and stir, about 3 minutes. Introduce the apple into the mix; cook for an additional 2 minutes. Next, pour in the broth and raise the heat to a medium level; bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Gradually decrease the heat to a low setting and allow it to simmer until the vegetables are tender, around 20 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency.
