Kabocha Coconut Soup (3 Ingredients)
This soup blends roasted kabocha squash with coconut milk and water to create a smooth, creamy soup with natural sweetness and mild coconut flavor. The roasting concentrates the squash's flavor and softens the flesh, providing a velvety texture. It can be prepared using a high-powered blender with a soup function or blended and gently heated on the stove, making it versatile in preparation methods.

Cup of Yum
Make the soup:
- Add the kabocha squash to a high-powered blender (I'm using the Instant Ace Nova blender).
