Directions

  1. Peel butternut squash. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Cut flesh into cubes.

  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and coconut oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add squash, red peppers, red curry paste, ginger, and garlic. Mix thoroughly and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add extra butter if the pot dries out, to avoid burning onion or squash.

  3. Pour coconut milk and skim milk into the pot, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer soup, stirring often, until squash is soft, about 25 minutes.

  4. Pour 1/3 of the soup into a blender. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder, pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat twice more.

Recipe Note

This curried squash soup has such an amazing balance of flavors and has officially become my favorite soup. Perfect for a chilly fall day! The fall weather always serves as inspiration for soup, especially butternut squash soups. I really wanted to put a spin on the typical squash soup this time, though. Optional garnishes include sliced scallions, toasted squash seeds, or shrimp. I highly suggest the toasted squash seeds as a garnish. They really add a lot!
