Vegan Butternut Squash Soup

Recipe:

Ingredients
Cashew Cream (see note for alternative)
½ cup raw cashews
¾ cup soy milk , unsweetened (see note)
Soup
4 pounds butternut squash (about 2 small)
2 tablespoons avocado oil (or preferred oil) + more for squash
1 medium onion , diced
2 medium carrots , diced small or thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic , minced
1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 cups vegetable broth , reduced sodium
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon kosher salt , more to taste
Fresh cracked pepper , to taste
Instructions
Cashew Cream
If you don't have a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix), you will need to soften the cashews first. To soften, boil water in a small pot and remove from heat. Add cashews and cover for 20 minutes. Now drain, rinse and discard soaking water.
Place the cashews in a blender along with the ¾ cup soy milk. Blend on high until very smooth. Set aside.
Soup
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and membranes (discard or save seeds for roasting). Lightly brush with oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the squash on a baking sheet, cut-side down, and roast for 40-50 minutes or until the squash is very tender and easily pierced with a fork. Let it cool for a few minutes then scoop out the soft flesh and set it aside.
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and carrots, then sauté until softened, about 4-6 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger, then sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
Now add the cumin, nutmeg, and cinnamon, then cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Stir constantly.
Pour in the broth and add the squash, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Turn the heat up to get things moving, then turn heat back down to gently simmer for about 8-10 minutes (this will give the flavors time to mingle). Remove fro m heat.
