Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

  3. Add pepper, cumin, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and chili flakes to the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
  4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Roasting
  1. Roast for about 1.5 hours or until the vegetables are golden and soft, reducing roasting time if chopped smaller.
  2. Remove the foil in the last 10 minutes to caramelize.
Blending
  1. Once roasted, scoop the squash flesh (if halved) and transfer all vegetables to a blender.
  2. Add vegetable broth and ginger (if using), then blend until smooth.
Cooking the Soup
  1. Pour the blended mix into a pot over medium heat.
  2. Stir in coconut milk and cook for about 2 minutes until warmed.
Final Touch
  1. Adjust seasonings to taste and garnish with fresh cilantro, a drizzle of coconut milk, and a pinch of chili flakes if desired.
