In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautΓ© until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add diced carrot and apple to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cubed butternut squash, pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, cinnamon, curry powder, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, until the butternut squash is tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the squash is tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth.
Return the pureed soup to the pot if using a blender. Stir in the coconut milk and heat through on low, without boiling, for about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
