South African-Inspired Butternut Soup image

Was looking for something warming for a dinner with my best friend and Gluwein and came across this recipe. Time did not permit that I cook so my fiance did it two days before, let it cook for a day or so on low, and wow, what a winner. Did not have the Gluwein though, but next time we will and I'm sure it will be the best. Great with olive bread toasted under the oven grill.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less curry powder if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not usually a fan of butternut squash soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of coconut milk and curry powder gave it a unique and delicious flavor.
