Spicy Butternut Squash Soup
Number of Servings
Serves 4
Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 1 butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
  • 1 14.5-oz can chicken broth
  • 12 ounce evaporated milk
  • [q:1/2] cup coconut milk
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
Directions
  1. Sauté onion, ginger and jalapeno in butter in a large pot. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
  2. Add squash and chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Simmer until the squash is tender—about 30 minutes.
  3. Stir in evaporated milk, coconut milk, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes more.
  4. Pour the soup into a blender, filling no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel and carefully puree soup. Puree in batches until smooth.
  5. Serve in small bowls and garnish with sour cream and thyme.
