Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds butternut squash
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cube the butternut squash into 1-inch pieces. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red curry paste, ground cumin, and ground coriander to the pot. Stir well to coat the aromatics with the spices.
Add the cubed butternut squash to the pot and toss to coat with the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the juice of the lime. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro and pumpkin seeds if desired, and serve warm.
