Curried Butternut Squash Bisque
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, approx 2 lbs., roasted until fork-tender (may substitute any hard winter squash)
- 1 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, seeds and membranes removed, diced
- 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp. each ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can coconut milk
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black
- Sour cream, cilantro, scallions, etc, as desired for garnishing
Instructions
Cook the Squash
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Trim both ends of the squash, then place it into the microwave for 5 minutes on high power. Remove the squash from the microwave and let it cool a few minutes. Now that it's slightly softened, peel the squash, then cut it in half lengthwise. Use a metal spoon to scrape the seeds and pulp from the interior bulb of the squash.
- Place each squash half onto a cutting board, cut-side-down, cutting it into slices;. Cube the slices, placing the cubes of squash onto a greased baking sheet; drizzle with a bit of olive oil, then toss to combine.
- Bake the squash in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for 25-30 minutes or until fork-tender, tossing half way through. Remove the squash from the oven and let cool slightly before proceeding with the bisque.
Make the Bisque
- Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium high heat; add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and spices and sauté until nicely softened and fragrant, 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cooked squash, chicken broth and coconut milk to the Dutch oven; season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer soup for a few minutes, then use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot until smooth. (May alternately use a food processor to purée soup until smooth, as well.)
- Serve soup garnished as desired. Serves 4
