Creamy Curry Butternut Squash Soup

I know what you're thinking, “I am not a squash fan”. Believe me when I say I'm right there with you, but this soup is so warming, so decadent, so GOOD you will change your mind about butternut squash. The ingredients are few and the process is simple. It’s a healthy soup and perfect for a cold winter day.

You’ll need…

2 lbs of diced butternut squash (Most Costcos carry 2lbs diced Butternut Squash)

1 T Curry Powder

1 1/2 tsp Ginger

1 1/2 tsp Cumin

Salt and Pepper to taste

3-4 C Chicken Broth (you could also use vegetable broth)

2 Shallots, minced

1 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 can 15oz Coconut Cream (not milk)

Heavy whipping Cream(optional)

• In a large pot add the olive oil and shallot, sautee for 2-3 minutes or until softened

• Add the chopped Butternut Squash as will as the spices
• Mix well so the squash is cover evenly by the spices

• Pour Chicken Broth over the squash till covered
• Bring to boil then reduced to a simmer for 30 mins or until squash is fork tender

• Pour in Coconut cream

• Either mash for a chunkier soup or use a hand blender for a smoother soup

Serve it in a mug or bowl and add a splash of heavy cream, if desired.

Like I said easy, decadent, and will warm you right up on a cold winter day.  Even if butternut squash isn’t top of your list of favorite foods I encourage you to give this soup a try. You won’t regret it.
