Ingredients:
- 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or your oil of choice)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a little kick
Instructions:
- Start by heating the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for another minute, letting those aromatics envelop you.
- Now, it’s time to introduce the spices! Stir in the cumin, coriander, and curry powder. Let them mingle with the onion, garlic, and ginger for about a minute until fragrant.
- Next, throw in the cubed butternut squash and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Once the squash is nice and soft, carefully blend the soup until smooth. You can use an immersion blender or transfer it to a regular blender in batches.
- After blending, return the soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a little spice, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
- Let the soup warm up again, then serve it hot! This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
