Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
- 1 medium (150g) yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves (15g) garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15g) fresh ginger, grated
- 1 lb (450g) butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium (150g) Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp (16g) mild curry powder
- 1 tsp (5g) salt
- ½ tsp (3g) black pepper
- 4 cups (950ml) vegetable broth
- 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lime juice
Instructions:
- Place your pot over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Add the diced onion and cook until translucent and soft (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in the garlic, grated ginger, and curry powder. Stir constantly for 60 seconds until the spices smell fragrant.
- Toss in the cubed butternut squash and diced apple. Stir well to coat every piece in the curry mixture.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and add the salt and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Turn off the heat. Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the soup until completely smooth.
- Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice.
- Return to low heat for 2 minutes just to warm through; do not let it reach a rolling boil.
