How to cut Butternut Squash

  1. Start with a sharp knife and sturdy cutting board. Place a damp paper towel and place it under the cutting board. This will keep it from sliding around.
  2. Cut the ends off. Now cut the squash in half where the small cylinder shape meets the bigger bulb shape towards the bottom.
  3. Use a good vegetable peeler to peel the skin off.
  4. Cut the larger bulb shape in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  5. Cut the squash into small cubes and it’s ready to go for this recipe.

How to make Curried Butternut Squash Soup

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Add cubed squash, onion, and garlic.
  3. Sprinkle all seasonings evenly over squash.
  4. Drizzle coconut oil over squash.
  5. Bake 35 minutes until squash is soft.
  6. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
  7. Carefully add baked squash mix to blender.
  8. Add coconut milk and blend until smooth.
  9. Pour the pureed squash to medium saucepan and heat over medium heat 3-5 minutes until warm.
  10. You can spice this up as much as you like by adding more curry powder or red pepper flakes.

      I think beef or sausage would go good with this.

    This is so good. Very spicy so if you prefer a more mild soup, go light on curry. Vegetables are great tasting even before blending.

    I made this tonight and it was great. I would like to suggest that you indicate how big the squash should be. They were all pretty large at the store and I got the smallest one. I didn’t even use the whole thing but it made a lot cut up. I had to blend in 2 batches and add 4 cups of chicken broth (which wasn’t even in the recipe). It would have been too thick even for my Vitamix to blend without some additional liquid.
