South African-Inspired Butternut Soup image

Was looking for something warming for a dinner with my best friend and Gluwein and came across this recipe. Time did not permit that I cook so my fiance did it two days before, let it cook for a day or so on low, and wow, what a winner. Did not have the Gluwein though, but next time we will and I'm sure it will be the best. Great with olive bread toasted under the oven grill.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The soup was still very flavorful.

I'm allergic to coconut milk, so I substituted almond milk instead. The soup still turned out great!
