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.

This soup is a little too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover winter squash. I always have a few extra lying around after Halloween.

I'm allergic to coconut milk, so I substituted almond milk instead. It turned out great!

I would have liked this soup more if it had been a bit thicker. I might try adding some cornstarch or flour next time.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't wow me either.

I wasn't a fan of the coconut milk in this soup. I found it to be too overpowering.

I love how versatile this soup is. I added some shredded chicken and vegetables to mine, and it was delicious. You could also add tofu, lentils, or roasted chickpeas.

This soup is incredibly easy to make. I had it on the table in under an hour, and that's with peeling and chopping the squash myself.

I'm a huge fan of Thai food, so I was excited to see this recipe for a fusion soup. It didn't disappoint! The coconut milk and lemongrass gave it a wonderful Southeast Asian flair.

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about coconut milk in soup, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a creamy richness that balanced out the sweetness of the squash perfectly.
