Kabocha Coconut Soup (3 Ingredients)
Description
Kabocha Coconut Soup (3 Ingredients) brings together the earthy sweetness of roasted kabocha squash, creamy coconut milk, and water in a straightforward recipe. The kabocha is roasted whole until tender, then peeled and deseeded before blending, which enhances the depth of flavor. The soup achieves its velvety consistency from blending the roasted squash with coconut milk and water, offering a balanced coconut aroma without overpowering the squash.
The preparation either uses a blender with a soup heating function or blends first, then heats gently on the stove, offering flexibility for different kitchen equipment. Serving this soup warm allows the subtle sweetness of the squash and the creaminess of coconut milk to shine. Garnishing with pumpkin seeds is an optional touch that adds some texture contrast.
Ingredients
- 1 kabocha squash ripe
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 ½ C water
Instructions
Roast the kabocha:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/204°C.
- Wash the kabocha and carefully poke a few holes on the surface of the squash with a sharp knife.
- Wrap the kabocha in aluminum foil.
- Place the kabocha onto a large baking tray.
- Roast at 400°F/204°C for about 90 minutes, or until fork tender. (Depending on the size of the kabocha).
- Remove the kabocha from the oven and let cool before peeling the skin off and removing the seeds.
Make the soup:
- Add the kabocha squash to a high-powered blender (I'm using the Instant Ace Nova blender).
- Pour in 1 can of coconut milk and 1 ½ C water.
- Press the SOUP function button and let it blend and heat up.
If using a regular blender:
- Blend the soup until smooth.
- Pour the soup into a pot and cook over medium heat, until heated through.
- Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
- Garnish with some pumpkin seeds if you like.
