BUTTERNUT SQUASH COCONUT CURRY



Butternut Squash Coconut Curry image

This was inspired from the lovely little butternut squashes at the Farmer's Market last week. I used my recipe: recipe #84474 as a base, switched the sweet potatoes for butternut squash, and added a can of coconut milk, and came up with this! I did take the time to toast and grind whole cumin and corriander, but feel free to use the already-ground versions of these spices as well. Also, roasting your butternut squash with some salt pepper and curry powder brings a wonderfully deep and carmelized flavor to your curry

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 onion, chopped
1 -2 teaspoon canola oil
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
1 teaspoon cinnamon
10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cubed
curry powder, salt and pepper for sprinkling over squash
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can light coconut milk
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped for garnish
basmati rice or brown rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Place cubed butternut squash on a foil lined baking sheet, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle generously with curry powder, salt and pepper, and roast at 350 for 35-45 minutes, or until tender. You still want them to hold their shape when added to the curry, and not be mush :>.
  • While squash cooks, heat 1-2 tsp of canola oil over medium heat.
  • Add onions and a little bit of salt, and sauté 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
  • Next, add the curry powder, cumin, corriander and cinnamon, and stir to coat the onions evenly with spices.
  • Add tomatoes with their juices, and the chickpeas, stir to combine.
  • Next, add the spinach, stirring to coat with cooking liquid.
  • When all the spinach is added to the pan, cover and simmer until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • Add coconut milk and gently stir to combine.
  • Finally, add the roasted butternut squash to the liquid, and stir to coat.
  • Top with fresh chopped cilantro (optional) and serve over basmati rice (I like brown basmati).

Tips:

  • Use ripe butternut squash: This will ensure the soup is sweet and flavorful. Look for squash that is firm and has a deep, orange color.
  • Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup: This will help to caramelize the squash and bring out its natural sweetness. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a variety of spices: This will give the soup a complex and flavorful taste. Some good spices to use include curry powder, cumin, coriander, and garam masala.
  • Add coconut milk: This will give the soup a creamy and rich texture. You can use canned or fresh coconut milk.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh cilantro: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

Butternut coconut curry soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. The soup is vegan and gluten-free, making it a great option for people with dietary restrictions.
