Coconut Curried Butternut Squash Soup image

Most restaurants prepare this perennial favorite with butter, plenty of oil and sometimes even heavy cream. Use coconut milk for a dairy-free, yet creamy and delicious, butternut squash soup. The addition of curry powder provides both flavor and nutrients. The spice that gives curry powder its orange color is turmeric, a powerful antioxidant that's also loaded with iron.

1 small butternut squash, halved and seeded (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, optional
Pinch ground black pepper
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small onion, diced
2 cups unsalted chicken broth
6 fluid ounces coconut milk
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and place a rack in the middle of the oven.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has any soft spots or blemishes.
  • Roast the butternut squash before using it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and makes it easier to blend into a smooth soup.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will ensure that your soup is smooth and creamy. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more curry powder, salt, or pepper.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A few simple garnishes can make your soup look and taste even better. Try adding a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and nutritious meal, give this butternut squash soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
