Ingredients
3 cups (chopped)
broccoli florets
3 tablespoons
extra virgin olive oil
2
scallions (white and light green parts only)
2 tablespoons
fresh ginger, roughly chopped
2
garlic cloves, smashed
5
carrots, chopped
1 15 oz
cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 14 oz
can light coconut milk
1/2
acorn squash, seeded and chopped into 3/4-inch pieces
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large wide pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the carrots and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the coconut milk, beans with their liquid and 3 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are very tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the squash, broccoli and bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring, until the vegetables are tender and browned, and the bread is toasted, about 15 minutes.
- Puree the soup with an immersion blender (or transfer to a regular blender in batches and puree); season with salt and pepper. Divide the soup among bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and top with the vegetable-crouton mixture and scallion greens. Serve with crusty bread.
