Red Curry Coconut Squash Soup
This red curry coconut 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 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!
Ingredients
-
1 medium butternut squash
-
2 tablespoons butter, or more as needed
-
1 tablespoon coconut oil
-
½ onion, chopped
-
2 roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
-
2 tablespoons red curry paste
-
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk (such as Thai Kitchen)
-
½ cup skim milk
Description
-
Peel butternut squash; cut in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Cut flesh into cubes.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Pour 1/3 of the soup into a blender. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before blending. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat twice more.
