Chilled Butternut Squash And Coconut Soup Food

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Wrap each garlic half in foil and place on the prepared baking sheet. Add squash, cut-sides down. Add onion, leek, and ginger.
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are golden and squash skin is easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Squeeze out roasted garlic cloves and scoop out squash flesh into a food processor or blender with onion, leek, and ginger. Add 2 cups broth and puree (in batches if necessary) until smooth. Transfer to a soup pot.
• Place the pot over medium heat and add remaining broth. Whisk in coconut milk, curry powder, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and black pepper, and cook until heated through, about 15 minutes.

5-INGREDIENT APPLE-BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a Dutch oven or large pot and heat over medium-high heat. Add half the squash and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bottom of the pot and some of the squash pieces are browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the squash to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and uncooked squash to the pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and deglazing the brown bits on the bottom of the pot with a splash of water and a wooden spoon if it looks like it's going to burn, about 4 minutes. Add the rest of the cooked squash back to the pot.
• Add the coconut milk and apples to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the squash is quite tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth, or transfer the squash and apple chunks with a slotted spoon to a blender to puree, then return the blended mixture to the pot and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
• Serve the soup topped with apple slices and big drizzles of olive oil.
