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!

THAI-INSPIRED COCONUT CURRY SOUP WITH VEGETABLES



Thai-Inspired Coconut Curry Soup With Vegetables image

There are dozens of types of curries in Thailand, but most can be categorized as red, green or yellow; this is a streamlined vegetarian version of a red curry, named after the color of chile found in the curry paste. This one is spicy, sweet, creamy and adaptable. When the red curry paste is cooked in oil, the blend of chiles and aromatics like galangal and lemongrass come alive and become the curry's backbone. Because store-bought pastes vary in intensity, this recipe also uses fresh garlic and ginger to ensure a zingy final result. Use any vegetables you like, but it's nice to have one hearty vegetable (like sweet potato) and one crisp one (like snow peas) for a mix of textures. If you find your curry too spicy, stir in a bit of brown sugar. If it's feeling a bit flat, squeeze in a little lime juice or add a dash of soy or fish sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup chopped sweet potato, carrots, parsnips, cauliflower or winter squash
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, finely grated (no need to peel)
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 cup chopped snow peas, bok choy, snap or frozen peas, edamame or green beans
1 lime
Cilantro or basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse and set aside.
  • While the noodles cook, in a medium pot, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potato, ginger, garlic and red curry paste. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns a shade darker and begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk, snow peas, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the snow peas are bright green and the sweet potato is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Cut the lime in half; squeeze one half into the curry and cut the other half into four wedges. Divide the noodles among bowls, top with the curry and herbs. Squeeze more lime juice over as desired.

Provided by GoldsmithLissa

Categories     Curries

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small butternut squash, about 1 . 5-2lb
olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 small leek, small dice
1 small fresh hot pepper, minced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 small carrot, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon curry powder
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 liter chicken stock or 1 liter vegetable stock
1/2 cup red lentil
3 tablespoons coconut milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy center. Oil each half gently with olive oil or cooking spray, put face down on a cookie sheet and bake until tender (about 25-40 minutes).
  • Meanwhile heat a soup pot over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, the onion, celery, carrot, leek, pepper, garlic, curry powder, ginger and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir regularly and sweat for about 10 minutes or until veggies soften a bit. Add stock and bring to a simmer. Add lentils and stir regularly at a simmer for 15 minutes.
  • When squash is tender scoop out and gently mash and stir into the soup. Stir the coconut milk into the soup until well incorporated. Taste and correct for seasoning then served.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Use a squash that is firm and has a deep color. This will ensure that the soup is flavorful and has a vibrant color.
  • Roast the squash before adding it to the soup: Roasting the squash caramelizes the natural sugars and brings out its flavor. It also makes the squash easier to blend into a smooth soup.
  • Use a good quality red curry paste: The red curry paste is what gives this soup its signature flavor. Be sure to use a paste that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: The amount of red curry paste you use will determine how spicy the soup is. If you like spicy food, add more paste. If you prefer a milder soup, use less paste.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for this soup include cilantro, lime wedges, and roasted peanuts. You can also serve it with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This red curry coconut squash soup is a delicious and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table.
