Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute.
- Add cubed butternut squash, red lentils, salt, black pepper, and vegetable stock. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, turn it down to medium-low, and let it simmer (stirring occasionally) for 20-25 minutes or until the squash cubes are cooked. You can check doneness by inserting a knife in one of the cubes. If it comes in and out easily, it should be cooked.
- Off the heat, using an immersion blender blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. You can either blend it until smooth or live it chunky like I did.
- Stir in the coconut milk and Sriracha. Give it a taste and add more seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish with cilantro and sliced red onion if preferred. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- : Though this soup calls for 5 cups of vegetable broth, you can make it thicker and more curry-like by using 3-4 cups instead. That way, this dish will be easier to serve alongside sides like rice and naan.
- : When storing your soup, first let it reach room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- : To freeze this dish, let it reach room temperature and then put it into an airtight container. Once in the freezer, this butternut curry will stay fresh for up to 1 month.
