COCONUT CURRY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place butternut squash in a baking dish, flesh side up. Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter over the flesh and top with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and cayenne pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove squash from oven and cool for 15 minutes.
• Place a large stockpot over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir onion in the melted butter for 2 minutes. Add curry powder; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk; bring to a boil.
• Scoop flesh from the butternut squash and add to coconut milk mixture; mix in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, vegetable stock, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until soup is heated through.
• Blend soup using an immersion blender on low speed. Simmer until soup is smooth and thickened, about 20 minutes more. Add more vegetable stock for a thinner consistency and season with salt.
• Ladle soup into bowls and top each with pepitas and a pinch of nutmeg.

Steps:

• Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat; stir in onions. Cook and stir until onions are soft and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onions are very tender and caramelized, at least 30 minutes more.
• Add tomato paste and 1 teaspoon curry paste; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add butternut squash and apple; cook, stirring constantly, until evenly coated with spices, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour just enough water into the pot to almost cover squash and apple. Stir, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until squash is very tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in coconut milk and ginger. Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Add sugar and salt, and more curry paste if needed. If soup isn't smooth enough, cook an additional 20 to 30 minutes and puree again.
• Stir in heavy cream. Add more water if soup is too thick. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot.
