Time 2h20m

Yield Serves 6 to 8; Makes about 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium butternut squash (3 pounds)
3 tablespoons safflower or other neutral-flavored oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup thinly sliced shallots (3 medium)
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 tablespoons minced ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup coconut milk, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 1/2 lime)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds; reserve, if desired (see Cook's Note). Drizzle cut side of squash with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, cut-side down, on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast until squash is very tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • In a 6-quart pot or Dutch oven, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add ginger and coriander; cook until very fragrant, 2 minutes. Stir in broth, 1 cup water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Scoop flesh from cooled squash into pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring a few times, 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth. Return to pot; heat over medium. Whisk in coconut milk. Cook until warmed through, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, drizzled with more coconut milk and sprinkled with toasted squash seeds, if desired. Soup can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.

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 blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give your soup a richer flavor and creamier texture. You can find coconut milk in cans or cartons in the Asian food section of most grocery stores.
  • Add some spice: A little bit of spice can help to balance out the sweetness of the butternut squash and coconut milk. You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper, curry powder, or ginger to the soup.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, can add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash and coconut soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. The soup can be served as a starter or a main course, and it can be paired with a variety of side dishes, such as rice, quinoa, or bread.
