WINTER SQUASH IN COCONUT MILK (FUSION SOUP)



Winter Squash in Coconut Milk (Fusion Soup) image

Is it sweet? Is it savory? Eat it warm? Eat it cold? Puree it? Leave it chunky? Yes to all! Start or finish the meal; add more brown sugar or honey if you like it sweeter. It's good every which way. For a low fat version, skip the butter and use lite coconut milk. From Mark Bittman in the New York Times. Prep time does not include time to cool.

COCONUT WINTER SQUASH SOUP



Coconut Winter Squash Soup image

This soup is like a dose of winter sunshine. I learned this recipe from my pal Kaley. Before watching her prepare this soup, I would have written it off as "too labor intensive". Nothing could be farther from the truth. There are many steps listed here, but each one is easy and quick. There is a bunch of wait time, though, so plan ahead. You'll need to start this an hour and a half before you want to eat.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 butternut squash (acorn would work perfectly fine)
3 onions, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry (adjust for personal preference or use nutmeg)
6 small potatoes, diced
6 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

Steps:

  • Turn oven to 350°F
  • Rinse the squash. Prick with a knife several times. Stick it in the oven for a hour and forget about it.
  • In a dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, sugar, pepper and curry. Reduce heat and cook for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice. The goal is to caramelize the onions.
  • Add the diced potatoes to the onion mixture and cover.
  • Remove the squash from the oven. Slice off each end. Cut into 2 halves and scoop the seedy pulp out. Turn onto the cut sides, then peel the rind from the squash. It should come away easily.
  • Chop the squash into 1 - 2" cubes. Add to the onion and potato mixture.
  • Add the broth and coconut milk. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Turn heat off. Let stand for a couple of minutes to cool slightly. Process the soup through the blender in batches. (It takes 3 batches to get this recipe through my blender.) Have a large bowl ready to catch the blended soup.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: This recipe calls for a winter squash, such as butternut, kabocha, or calabaza. These squashes have a hard outer shell and a sweet, dense flesh.
  • Roast the squash before adding it to the soup: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges. This adds depth of flavor to the soup.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give the soup a rich and creamy texture. If you use low-fat or skim coconut milk, the soup will be thin and watery.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the soup. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

This winter squash in coconut milk fusion soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold night. The soup is creamy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. It is also easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
