SWEET MEAT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Cut squash in half, and then in half again to quarter. Remove and discard seeds and stringy center parts and peel squash.*
• Cut squash into 1" cubes. It will be blended so they don't have to be perfect, just similar sized.
• Heat oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes to soften. Add garlic and cook a few minutes longer until garlic is soft and aromatic. Add curry and cumin and stir for about 30 seconds.
• Pour broth in and add squash. Put lid on, reduce heat to low, and let simmer/ steam for 15 - 20 mins until squash is full cooked. There will not be enough liquid to full submerge the squash fully so during this time, remove the lid 2-3 times and stir to make sure squash cooks evenly.
• Once squash is fully cooked, add coconut milk, lime juice, and salt. Blend in the pot using a stick blender or process in batches using a food processor or blender (be mindful of the steam!) and return to pot. Adjust seasoning levels if needed based on your preferences.
• Ladle soup into bowls and top with garnishes to serve.
