Ingredients

…for the roasted squash…

...for the soup...

...to garnish...

  • Coconut Cream scooped from the can
  • Lemon Juice
  • Pumpkin Seeds
  • Fresh Parsley or Coriander to taste

Instructions

  • Roast the squash seasoned with salt and pepper in the oven at 200° C (390°F) for 50-60 mins or until fork tender. In the last 30 minutes add the onions (peeled and chopped in half).
  • Once cooked allow to cool down to the touch.
  • Scoop about 2-3 tablespoon of coconut cream from the top of the refrigerated coconut milk can and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan or pot combine the olive oil and onion. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add garlic and ginger. Continue cooking over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Lastly, add salt, cayenne, turmeric, the remaining coconut milk and broth. Stir to combine ingredients. Cover skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low, and let ingredients simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Once you can handle the roasted squash, scoop the flesh out and place in a blender bowl with the spicy broth.
  • Blend until creamy silky smooth. Adjust the seasoning if needed. If you like it smoother, you can filter it to a sieve, if you like it runnier, add more broth.
  • Work the coconut cream with a few splashes of lemon juice until it reaches a sauce consistency.
  • Serve the soup hot, topped with a drizzle of coconut cream sauce, roasted pumpkin seed, freshly ground pepper and fresh parsley/coriander.

Notes

You can use light coconut milk instead of full-fat if you want to cut down the calorie count. In this case you should require less broth to blend the soup.
This soup gets even better with time and will taste wonderful after a day or two in the refrigerator.  Simply keep in an airtight container and store for up to 4-5 days.
Alternatively, you can freeze the soup in an airtight container or zip lock bag for max 6 months.
If you'd like, you can also make this soup with pumpkin (even the canned type), or any other kind of squash.
