Steps:
- Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and scallion whites and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, cayenne, bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add the butternut squash and simmer until the potatoes and squash are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
- Stir in the coconut milk and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency with water and seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
- Serve hot sprinkled with chopped cilantro and scallion greens and a drizzle of coconut milk if using.
