Transfer sheet pan with chickpeas to oven during last 15 mins of squash roasting.
During last 5 mins of roasting, remove sheet pan with chickpeas and add crushed pistachios. Toss to combine. Return to oven for 5 mins.
Remove both baking sheets from oven.
Meanwhile, prepare the soup base. Heat 2 tsp of neutral oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced ginger. Sauté 1 to 2 mins. Add full-fat coconut milk and 2 c. of water. Turn heat to medium. Once coconut milk begins to bubble, reduce heat to low and simmer as vegetables finish roasting.
Taste chickpeas and add more salt if needed. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
Add roasted squash, onion, and potato to the pot of coconut milk. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until completely smooth. Simmer 10 mins. Taste and season.
