Ingredients

• 2 cups, peeled and cubed butternut squash
• 2 cups cauliflower florets
• 1 large, diced zucchini
• 2 medium, diced carrot
• 1 large, chopped yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the butternut squash, cauliflower, zucchini, and carrot. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring well to combine.

Step 6

Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the pottage until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup.

Step 9

Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice just before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of additional smoked paprika and fresh parsley.
