Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 butternut squash medium-large
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 granny smith apple
- 1 orange 1 tsp zest, juice
- 3 cups vegetable stock you can use 4 cups but it won't be quite as creamy
- 1 can coconut milk 13.5oz
- chopped parsley optional garnish
Instructions
- Start by peeling the butternut squash. Remove and discard the seeds. Chop into small squares (about 3/4"-1"). Roughly chop the onions and apple.
- Once you're finished prepping the squash, you can begin warming the oil in a cast iron enamel or stainless steel pot over medium heat. While the oil is warming, peel and chop the apple, juice the orange, then grate a teaspoon of the orange zest.
- Saute the onion for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the squash, curry powder, salt and pepper, and saute for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the apple, orange zest, orange juice and vegetable stock and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is soft and cooked.
- Turn off the heat and add the coconut milk. Then, pour it into a high speed blender or a food processor and blend. Or, if you have an immersion blender, simply blend in the pot.
- Reheat before serving if you used a blender.
