This creamy and cozy soup will become your newest winter essential.
\n\"\"What You’ll Need<\/strong>
\n2 cups Califia Farms Toasted Coconut Almond Milk
\n1 medium butternut squash, peeled, cored, and cubed (about 4-5 cups)
\n1 granny smith apple, cored and cubed
\n\u00bd yellow onion, cut into a few thick slices1 garlic clove, whole
\n2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
\n\u00bd teaspoon sea salt
\n2 \u00bd cups vegetable broth
\n2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
\n\u00bc cup pomegranate seeds
\n2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds, or toasted coconut
\n\u00bc cup fresh parsley
\nBlack pepper, to taste<\/p>\n

What To Do<\/strong>
\nPreheat oven to 375\u00b0 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place the squash, apple, onion, and garlic into a mixing bowl and drizzle on grapeseed oil. Toss the veggies well in the oil, then spread evenly onto the baking sheet, and sprinkle on sea salt. Roast for 45-55 minutes, or until squash is tender.
\n\"\"Transfer the roasted veggies to a dutch oven on medium-heat. Then add the vegetable broth and Toasted Coconut Almond Milk, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes. Allow the soup to cool until safe enough to blend in the blender. If you\u2019re using an immersion blender to puree the soup, you can do so while it is still hot (just be careful it doesn\u2019t splash). Blend until creamy!
\nSeason to taste with more salt, and if necessary, reheat it on the stove before serving. Garnish with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds, parsley, and black pepper.<\/p>\n
