Time 1h30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ medium butternut squash
½ medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon curry powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup half-and-half, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and pour in 1/4 cup water.
  • Cut butternut squash in half; scoop out and discard seeds. Place squash halves, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until squash is soft when poked with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Scoop flesh out into a bowl and discard skins.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; saute until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chicken stock, butternut squash, curry powder, cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper.
  • Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until warm, about 10 minutes. Stir in half-and-half before serving.
