Smokey Butternut Squash Soup
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut or other winter squash (about 2lb/1kg)
- 2 tbsp coconut or sunflower oil
- 1 onion
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 chipotle peppers canned, in adobo sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (sub regular paprika if you cannot find smoked)
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 2 cans coconut milk (14oz/398mL)
- 2 litres vegetable broth or water
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place halved squash on baking sheet cut-side down.
- Roast for about 45 min or until the squash is soft. For hard-shelled squash you need to test the fleshy side to see if it is soft. Once it is done, cool it, scoop out the flesh and set aside.
- In a soup pot, sauté onion and garlic in the oil over medium heat, until fragrant.
- Add chipotle, coriander and paprika and stir.
- Add coconut milk and roasted squash and just enough water to cover. Simmer for a couple of minutes for the flavours to combine.
- Puree and season with sea salt.
