Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Cut the squash in half, lengthwise, and place the halves face-down on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until the skin can be easily pierced with a fork. (Don't worry if you over-cook them a bit, like I did... squash is very forgiving.) You'll only need one half of the squash for this recipe, so reserve the other half for another meal!
- While the squash is cooking, melt the coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and saute the diced onion and garlic until translucent and tender, about 8 minutes. Feel free to use a splash of water, if needed, to prevent sticking. Set aside to cool.
- Now it's time for the most daunting part. Opening the coconut! All you need is a decent cleaver, and one hand kept safely behind your back. I simply whack away around the center, until the top can be easily popped off! Pour all of the water into the container of your blender, then use a spoon to scrape out the white flesh. Blend both the coconut meat and water in the blender until it reaches a thick coconut "milk" consistency.
- To the coconut milk, add the rest of the ingredients-- including half of the roasted squash, cooked onions and garlic, curry, ginger and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, then adjust the taste and texture to your liking, adding a bit of water to thin, if needed.
- Transfer the soup to a sauce pot, and heat over the stove until piping hot.
- Serve immediately!
Notes
- *Canned pumpkin or squash can be used instead of fresh. **A 16 oz. can of coconut milk can also be substituted in a pinch. I garnished our bowls with a simple dash of freshly grated nutmeg, but other delicious toppings might include a handful of dried cranberries and walnuts, for a burst of crunch and sweetness.
