Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large butternut squash (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small yellow onion, diced (about 1/3 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
Kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon curry powder, preferably Madras
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup (6 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
Smoked paprika, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Trim the top and bottom of the squash. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a large spoon and place the halves, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Rub the squash on all sides with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast until fork-tender, about 50 minutes. Let cool.
  • Use a small spoon to scoop the flesh from the bottom (wider) parts of both squash halves. You should have about 2 cups. Place in a bowl and set aside. Reserve the remaining squash for another use.
  • Place the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the onion is softened but not developing any color; 3 to 4 minutes. Add the curry powder, stir to coat and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the squash and stir to coat.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced and thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Return to the pot and add the coconut milk. Simmer over low heat until flavorful and reduced slightly, being careful not to let it boil (coconut milk will curdle), about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Divide the soup between 2 bowls and sprinkle each with some smoked paprika.

Coconut Curried Butternut Squash Soup image

Most restaurants prepare this perennial favorite with butter, plenty of oil and sometimes even heavy cream. Use coconut milk for a dairy-free, yet creamy and delicious, butternut squash soup. The addition of curry powder provides both flavor and nutrients. The spice that gives curry powder its orange color is turmeric, a powerful antioxidant that's also loaded with iron.

RED CURRY COCONUT SQUASH SOUP



Red Curry Coconut Squash Soup image

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!

COCONUT BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Coconut Butternut Squash Soup image

Once you've got the squash baked, this soup comes together quickly. The mellow flavors of squash, kale and red onions synergize delectably and look gorgeous together as well.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil or other vegetable oil
1 large yellow or sweet white onion, chopped
1 medium apple, any variety, peeled and diced
2 cups prepared vegetable broth, or 2 cups water with 1 vegetable bouillon cube
2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder
2 teaspoons grated fresh or jarred ginger, or more, to taste
Pinch of ground nutmeg or allspice
1 14-ounce can light coconut milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 medium red onions, quartered and thinly sliced
1 good-size bunch kale (about 10 to 12 ounces)

Steps:

  • To bake the squash, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut in half and place halves, cut side up, in a foil-lined, shallow baking dish and cover tightly with more foil. Bake for 30 to 50 minutes, until you can easily pierce the flesh with a knife. Scoop out and set aside.
  • Heat about half the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the apple, squash, broth and spices. Bring to a steady simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the apples are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the solids to a food processor with a slotted spoon, in batches if need be, and process until smoothly pureed, then transfer back to the soup pot. Or better yet, simply insert an immersion blender into the pot and process until smoothly pureed.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and return the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until well heated through. Season with salt and pepper. If time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or two, then heat through as needed before serving.
  • Just before serving, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet. Add the red onions and sauté over low heat until golden and soft.
  • Meanwhile, strip the kale leaves off the stems and cut into thin shreds. Stir together with the onions in the skillet, adding just enough water to moisten the surface. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the kale is bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • To serve, ladle soup into each bowl, then place a small mound of kale and onion mixture in the center.
