Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Spread the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the roasted butternut squash, canned pumpkin puree, and vegetable broth to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes to marry the flavors.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can let the soup cool slightly and carefully blend it in batches using a countertop blender.
Once blended, return the soup to low heat and stir in the almond milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and ground ginger.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or spices as desired.
Stir in the coconut cream until fully incorporated, giving the soup a creamy texture.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
