SLOW COOKER 5-INGREDIENT THAI CURRY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Thai Curry Butternut Squash Soup image

This smooth-as-silk fall soup is creamy, dreamy, and full of flavor despite its short list of ingredients.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3- pound butternut squash
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (more or less to taste)
Additional drizzle of coconut milk
Fresh cilantro leaves
Thinly sliced hot red pepper
Lime wedges for squeezing over the top
4- quart or larger slow cooker

Steps:

  • Place butternut squash, onion, broth, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in your slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • Remove the lid and let the soup cool a bit before pureeing. When cool enough to handle, carefully puree the entire batch right in the slow cooker with an immersion blender. You can also use a blender, working in batches, then return the soup to the slow cooker.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and the Thai red curry paste. Cover with the lid and cook on low for another 30 minutes or so to heat the soup back up. Taste and add additional curry paste and salt if desired.
  • Serve alone or with optional toppings.

Tips:

  • Butternut squash should be firm and free of bruises or soft spots. Peel the squash before cooking to remove the skin.
  • To peel butternut squash easily, place it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. This will soften the skin and make it easier to remove.
  • Butternut squash can be cooked in a variety of ways, including roasting, baking, sautéing, and steaming. When roasting or baking, toss the squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper for a simple and flavorful side dish.
  • Sautéed butternut squash is a great addition to salads, soups, and pasta dishes. Simply heat some oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the squash until tender.
  • If you're short on time, you can use canned or frozen butternut squash in this recipe. Just be sure to drain the canned squash well before using.

Conclusion:

This easy butternut squash slow-cooker curry is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. The curry is packed with flavor and the slow-cooker makes it easy to prepare. Try this recipe and enjoy the warm and comforting flavors of butternut squash curry!
