Coconut Winter Squash Soup
- 1 butternut squash (acorn would work perfectly fine)
- 3 onions, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 18 teaspoon pepper
- 12 teaspoon curry (adjust for personal preference or use nutmeg)
- 6 small potatoes, diced
- 6 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- Turn oven to 350F
- Rinse the squash.
- Prick with a knife several times.
- Stick it in the oven for a hour and forget about it.
- In a dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat.
- Add onions, sugar, pepper and curry.
- Reduce heat and cook for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- The goal is to caramelize the onions.
- Add the diced potatoes to the onion mixture and cover.
- Remove the squash from the oven.
- Slice off each end.
- Cut into 2 halves and scoop the seedy pulp out.
- Turn onto the cut sides, then peel the rind from the squash.
- It should come away easily.
- Chop the squash into 1 - 2" cubes.
- Add to the onion and potato mixture.
- Add the broth and coconut milk.
- Cover and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Turn heat off.
- Let stand for a couple of minutes to cool slightly.
- Process the soup through the blender in batches.
- (It takes 3 batches to get this recipe through my blender.)
- Have a large bowl ready to catch the blended soup.
