Tips

Roasting the squash brings out the flavour of the veggie, so it's important not to miss that very first step, even though it takes a bit of time.


Directions

From "Style at Home" magazine Feb. 2012, page 108

Peel and de-seed butternut squash. Cut into 1 inch cubes. Roast squash on lightly oiled baking sheet (1 tsp of the oil) at 375 degrees until golden - about 40-45 mins.

Cool squash then puree in a food processor adding 2 cups of water or puree with a hand blender after transferring roasted squash to a large bowl.

Heat 1 tsp of oil in stock pot and add chopped onion. Cook until almost translucent then add garlic, curry paste and red lentils. Stir well. Add broth and cook for 15 minutes until lentils are tender. Add pureed squash and let soup heat through. Add coconut milk and serve.

Serving Size: Makes 12 servings of 2 of my soup/ladle scoops (about 6 oz. each)
