Curry Coconut Butternut Squash Soup

Holly Stuhr, Snap-Ed Healthy Oxford Hills
Here is a twist on the classic fall favorite soup! If you don’t like the idea of peeling and cubing a hard raw butternut squash, you can roast it whole on a cookie sheet (375F) till it's soft and then it should easily peel and cubed.

Ingredients 

  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 Yellow Onion Sliced
  • 1 Butternut Squash Large, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 can Coconut Milk (13.5-oz.)
  • Water As needed
  • 1/2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven
  • Blender

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add spices and stir until spices color the oil and become fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add onion and cook over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add butternut squash, salt, coconut milk, and enough water to just cover the squash.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Allow to cook until squash is very soft, about 40 minutes.
  • Allow squash to cool slightly before using a blender to puree the soup. (Alternatively, the soup can be pureed in batches in a blender or food processor). Finally, stir the apple cider vinegar into the pureed soup.
