Description

A silky, spiced bisque made with roasted butternut squash, coconut milk, and warm curry flavors — creamy, comforting, and perfect for cozy meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp curry powder (mild or hot, depending on taste)
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth if preferred)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish
  • Optional toppings: pumpkin seeds, chili flakes, swirl of coconut cream

Instructions

  1. Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until fragrant and softened.
  2. Add spices: Stir in curry powder and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute to toast spices.
  3. Add squash & broth: Add cubed butternut squash and pour in broth. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer 20–25 minutes until squash is tender.
  4. Blend: Use immersion blender (or transfer in batches to blender) until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add coconut milk: Stir in coconut milk. Simmer gently 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve: Ladle into bowls, garnish with herbs and optional toppings.

Notes

For extra depth, roast the squash at 400°F for 25 minutes before adding it to the soup. It intensifies the sweetness and flavor.
