Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Coat squash with 1 tbsp (15 m) canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on parchment-lined baking sheet, roast for 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven, flip and allow to cool.

Pour beans into a colander or strainer, rinse with cold water; set aside.

In a Dutch oven or large stock pot, heat remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and thyme sprigs; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in beans, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Using a large spoon, scoop both halves of roasted squash into pot; stir. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Remove thyme sprigs. Using an immersion blender, purée until smooth. Ladle into bowls, and top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.
