Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the butternut squash, cauliflower, zucchini, and carrot. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring well to combine.
Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the pottage until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup.
Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice just before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of additional smoked paprika and fresh parsley.
