Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup image

Very filling and even a little naughty, this butternut squash soup is a decadent appetizer. Butternut squash is hearty on its own, but the coconut milk makes the mixture truly rich. Serve with a warm baguette.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt, divided
¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, divided
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup chopped yellow onion
1 teaspoon yellow curry powder
1 (13 ounce) can coconut milk
2 ½ cups vegetable stock, or more if needed
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place butternut squash in a baking dish, flesh side up. Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter over the flesh and top with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and cayenne pepper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove squash from oven and cool for 15 minutes.
  • Place a large stockpot over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir onion in the melted butter for 2 minutes. Add curry powder; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk; bring to a boil.
  • Scoop flesh from the butternut squash and add to coconut milk mixture; mix in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, vegetable stock, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until soup is heated through.
  • Blend soup using an immersion blender on low speed. Simmer until soup is smooth and thickened, about 20 minutes more. Add more vegetable stock for a thinner consistency and season with salt.
  • Ladle soup into bowls and top each with pepitas and a pinch of nutmeg.
