  2. 2+ tsp chili pepper flakes to taste
  3. 2-3 tbs.minced garlic
  4. 2-3 tbs.garlic chili paste
  5. 2 (15 oz)packages cubed/frozen Butternut Squash
  6. 2 tbs.olive or coconut oil
  7. 3shallots, chopped
  8. 5scallions, chopped
  9. 1 (32 oz.)Container Vegetable broth
  10. I can light coconut milk

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In Dutch oven add olive oil, shallots, green onions (reserve one for garnish), garlic. Sauté about 8 minutes until tender. Add two pkgs of butternut squash and sauté additional 10 minutes with lid on.

  2. 2

    Remove lid, stir. Add chili flakes, salt, seasonings. Sauté about 5 minutes. Add broth. Stir until combined. Simmer 15 min until squash is completely tender.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat. Using a hand blender, purée the soup very carefully in the pot. If you do not have a hand blender, use a vitamix style blender ladeling the hot soup into blender at 50% capacity of blender size. Then pouring back into a warming pot once blended. (I highly recommend owning a hand blender to purée soups).

  4. 4

    Once soup is puréed, open coconut milk and carefully pour into a small mixing bowl. Wisk until blended. Pour 3/4 of the total can of coconut milk into the soup, lightly stirring to blend, reserving remaining 1/4 of the coconut milk as a swirled garnish for each bowl. I also garnished with chopped green onion and extra chili flakes. Or you could use chives, cilantro or lemongrass.
