Additional Notes/Tips

  1. Roast the squash for an extra caramelized flavor—because why not add a little drama?
  2. Add a pinch of nutmeg for a more complex taste.
  3. Garnish with sour cream or crumbled bacon if you’re feeling indulgent.
  4. Leftovers freeze well, so make a big batch for those lazy fall days.
  5. Don’t skip the coconut milk – it’s the secret to making this soup ridiculously creamy.
