Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup image

Very filling and even a little naughty, this butternut squash soup is a decadent appetizer. Butternut squash is hearty on its own, but the coconut milk makes the mixture truly rich. Serve with a warm baguette.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt, divided
¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, divided
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup chopped yellow onion
1 teaspoon yellow curry powder
1 (13 ounce) can coconut milk
2 ½ cups vegetable stock, or more if needed
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place butternut squash in a baking dish, flesh side up. Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter over the flesh and top with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and cayenne pepper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove squash from oven and cool for 15 minutes.
  • Place a large stockpot over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir onion in the melted butter for 2 minutes. Add curry powder; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk; bring to a boil.
  • Scoop flesh from the butternut squash and add to coconut milk mixture; mix in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, vegetable stock, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until soup is heated through.
  • Blend soup using an immersion blender on low speed. Simmer until soup is smooth and thickened, about 20 minutes more. Add more vegetable stock for a thinner consistency and season with salt.
  • Ladle soup into bowls and top each with pepitas and a pinch of nutmeg.

I didn't like this soup at all. The flavor was bland and the texture was watery.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less curry powder.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but I really enjoyed this soup. The curry and coconut milk really balance out the flavor of the squash.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. I always have some on hand in the fall and winter, and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The curry and coconut milk give it a nice kick, and the butternut squash makes it filling and satisfying. I served it with a side of naan bread and it was the perfect meal.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this soup was to make. I was expecting it to be more time-consuming, but it came together in just over an hour. The hardest part was peeling and chopping the butternut squash, but that was made easier by using a

This soup is absolutely delicious! The butternut squash is perfectly sweet and the curry adds a wonderful depth of flavor. I also love the addition of coconut milk, which makes the soup creamy and rich. I will definitely be making this soup again and
