Wash the butternut squash, cut it into smaller pieces, and remove the seeds. Peel the skin and dice the flesh.
Dice the onion and garlic. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent.
Add the garlic and smoked paprika, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced butternut squash to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
Once the squash is cooked, use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Before serving, garnish the soup with toasted pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley. Serve hot with fresh bread or toast.
