3 large pieces garlic
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp pink salt
pepper
few sprigs of thyme
2 tbsp cane sugar

2 cups water
1 400ml can coconut milk (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup dried shredded coconut

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375F
2. Carefully slice the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Then, place the squash onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper skin side up
3. Bake in the oven for 35-45min depending on the size of the squash. When the thickest part is fork tender, it's done. Let it cool for about 10min
4. Chop about 1/2 cup worth of broccolini into small pieces and thinly slice about 1/2 cup worth of cremini mushrooms
5. Dice the carrot and onion. Coarsely chop the garlic

9. Add in the thyme and sauté for another few minutes. Add in the squash and the cane sugar. Sauté for another minute
10. Add in the veggie stock, water, and coconut milk (set aside a little bit for garnish)
11. Turn up the heat to medium high, cover, and bring it to a boil
12. Transfer the soup to the blender or use a stick blender if you have one. Blend on high until nice and velvety
13. Pour the soup back into the pot and cover to keep it nice and hot
14. Heat up a frying pan on medium heat. Add in the shredded coconut
15. Toast for a few minutes until golden brown. Set aside
16. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and place back on medium heat
17. Sauté the broccolini for 3-4min. Add in the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté for another 3-4min
18. Place some of the veggies in the middle of your serving bowl. Then, pour around it 2 cups of soup
19. Sprinkle over some toasted coconut. Add some fresh cracked pepper. Drizzle some olive oil and drizzle some of the coconut milk
