The ingredients for Creamy Squash and Carrot Soup are:

Summer squash (you can probably substitute any type of hard squash - butternut, acorn etc.), 2 cup, chopped
Baby Carrots, raw, 10 large (Or just 1/4 cup or so of carrots)
Sweet potato, 1 cup, cubes (skin removed)
Coconut Milk, .33 cup
Onions, raw, .5 cup, chopped
Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
1/4 tsp. Cumin Powder
Cinnamon, ground, .5 tsp

Here is how you make Creamy Squash and Carrot Soup:

Chop all your ingredients (large dice), except the garlic - crush or finely chop that. Add olive oil, garlic & onions in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Let cook for a few minutes until it starts smelling really good. Add in the rest of the veggies and cook for 5 minutes until squash and potatoes begin to soften. Add 1/8-1/4 teaspoon of each of whatever spices as you desire - I used cumin, cinnamon, paprika, coriander, cayenne pepper, and some nutmeg, and a little salt.Add the broth, and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10-25 minutes, until potatoes are cooked and soft.Use an immersion blender to blend soup to desired consistency. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender but DO NOT FILL IT MORE THAN HALFWAY WITH SOUP! It could explode everywhere.Return soup to heat and bring back to a simmer. Add the coconut milk and incorporate it well.Serve with a dollop of coconut milk and sprinkling of paprika.Serving Size: Makes 4 servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TMP311.
