Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 4 garlic gloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
  • 4 cups uncooked butternut squash, (1-inch) cubes
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup torn fresh cilantro for serving
  • 1/3 cup chopped roasted peanuts for serving

Instructions 

  • Heat a large pot over medium-low heat and add coconut oil. Once it’s melted, add in the onions and the garlic with a pinch of salt and stir. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in the ginger and curry paste and stir until it is incorporated. Cook the curry and onion mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in the stock and add the squash cubes. Cover the pot and increase the heat to medium. Cook until the squash is soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Once the squash is soft, turn off the heat and very carefully pour the entire mixture into a blender. Blend until the soup is smooth and pureed. Pour it back into the pot and turn the heat on to medium low. Add in the coconut milk, lime juice, salt and pepper, and stir. Cover and cook the soup for 10 minutes until it’s completely warm. Taste and season additionally if desired. Serve the soup with a garnish of torn cilantro and crushed peanuts.
