Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (2 pound) kabocha squash, halved and seeded
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 (1 inch) piece minced fresh ginger root
3 tablespoons red curry paste
4 cups Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth, or more as needed
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Brush flesh side of squash with vegetable oil. Place halves, flesh down, on prepared baking sheet. Bake until tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool. Scoop out flesh and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and ginger root; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in red curry paste. Add cooked squash. Stir in Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour soup into a blender or food processor no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Add additional Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth to bring the soup to your preferred consistency.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

I added some shredded chicken to the soup and it turned out great! The chicken added an extra layer of flavor and made the soup more filling.

The soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less chili paste.

Not a fan of kabocha squash, but this soup changed my mind. The sweetness of the squash paired perfectly with the savory broth.

Easy to make and packed with flavor. I especially enjoyed the crispy shallots on top, they added a nice textural contrast.

Followed the recipe to the T, but the soup turned out bland. Maybe I should have added more spices?

The Kabocha soup was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting much, but the flavors really came together nicely. The ginger and lemongrass added a nice depth of flavor.
