From Leran 14 years agoIngredients
- 2 large butternut squash (5 pounds total)—halved lengthwise, peeled and seeded shopping list
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter shopping list
- Salt and freshly ground pepper shopping list
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped shopping list
- 1 shallot, finely chopped shopping list
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger shopping list
- 2 teaspoon curry powder shopping list
- 1/2 cup dry white wine shopping list
- 6 cups water or vegetable stock (I used a mix of both..more flavor!) shopping list
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk shopping list
- 1 thyme sprig (I used a mesh tea ball filled with dry thyme) shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper shopping list
- 1-2 pounds potato (Yukon gold are my preference) peeled and diced (optional) shopping list
- Monterey Jack cheese or preferred mild white melting cheese(optional) shopping list
How to make it
- 1) Preheat the oven to 350°.
- 2) Set the squash, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Fill each cavity with 1/2 tablespoon of the butter; season with salt and pepper. Roast the squash for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, until tender; cut into large pieces.
- 3) Meanwhile, in a large soup pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the olive oil. Add the onion, shallot, ginger and curry powder and cook over moderate heat until lightly browned.
- 4) Add the wine and cook until evaporated.
- 5) Add the cooked squash, stock (or water), coconut milk and thyme sprig. Simmer over moderately low heat for 15 minutes.
- 6) Discard the thyme sprig. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth; season with salt and pepper. (Note: I used white pepper for this recipe to preserve the color of the soup.) Return to pot.
- 7) Add potatoes, if desired, simmer for another 30 minutes or until potatoes are cooked
- 8) If your soup is too liquid continue to simmer until thick.
- 9) Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with cheese (if desired)
