Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onions and carrots; sauté until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Add cubed butternut squash and chopped apples. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add spices for a quick toast.
Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add sage and thyme, cover, and simmer until squash and apples are tender.
Purée the soup using an immersion blender or in batches with a regular blender.
Stir in coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Heat through without boiling.
Serve with roasted pumpkin seeds as garnish.
Notes
Roasting — Roasting the butternut squash and apples beforehand can give the dish an unparalleled richness. Try roasting them at 400°F for 20-25 minutes before adding to the pot.
Blending — Ensure the soup is completely smooth for that luxurious texture. Patience is key when blending.
Seasoning — Season the soup with salt and pepper after adding the coconut milk to adjust the seasoning accurately.
