Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion medium
- 3 cups butternut squash cubed
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 13.5 oz. coconut milk can, unsweetened
- 15 oz. pumpkin puree canned
- 1 Tbsp. curry powder (or less)
- 1/2 tsp. cumin ground
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Dice onion. Peel and cube butternut squash.
- In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
- Meanwhile, mince garlic and grate ginger.
- When onion is translucent, add garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin, and salt. Stir and cook 1 minute.
- Then add butternut squash, broth, coconut milk, and pumpkin puree. Stir well and bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and lightly simmer for 20 minutes.
- Blend soup until smooth & creamy. I highly recommend an immersion blender. (Otherwise you'll need to carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Please use extreme caution with this, as hot foods can erupt in the blender.)
- Salt & pepper to taste. Garnish with any desired toppings.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Garnish (optional): Fresh cilantro, swirl of coconut milk, maple syrup, pumpkin seeds, dairy-free sour cream or plain yogurt, fresh lime juice, roasted chickpeas, or anything else that sounds good!
- Curry powder: Adjust this to your liking. I enjoy the full 1 Tbsp. for strong flavor and a warmly spicy kick. But you can reduce to 2 tsp. for less.
