Butternut Squash Soup with Coconut Milk & Ginger

Mornin' Steemit!

Rainy weather calls for some comfort food, especially in October. If you're really feeling the weather today, there's nothing better than treating yourself and your family to a cozy homemade butternut squash soup. It's vibrant, flavorful and so satisfying 🍂

Ingredients

• 3-4 lb butternut squash (roasted);
• 1 medium white onion (chopped);
• 2 medium carrots (chopped);
• 3-4 cloves garlic (chopped);
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger (finely grated);
• 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth);
• 1/2 cup coconut milk + extra for serving;
• 2-3 tbsp cooking oil;
• salt, pepper to taste;
• 3/4 tsp ground cardamom;
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon;
• fresh dill or parsley for serving (optional);
• pumpkin seeds for serving (optional);
• hot thai chili for serving (sliced, optional).

Directions

1. In a Dutch oven or a soup pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add chopped carrots and onion, cook until the onions are translucent, 5-8 minutes. Then add garlic and ginger, add the spices (cardamom, cinnamon), cook for additional 2-3 minutes. Next, stir in broth, salt and pepper.
   Scoop flesh from your roasted butternut squash and add into pot, discard the skin. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes on medium-low.

2. Let the soup cool for about 5-10 minutes; working in batches process the mixture into a smooth puree. Return the soup to the pot, add coconut milk, adjust the spice level, at this point you can add extra coconut milk if you think the soup turned out too thick. Continue cooking at a medium heat for about 5 minutes.

3. Ladle the soup and serve it with some pumpkin seeds, coconut milk drizzle or whatever toppings you love. Enjoy! 🍽️

I have some mystery squash growing in my backyard. I might have to try making something like this with them!

You should! The soup was delicious and I used to hate pumpkins hahaha

Ну да, кто по грибы, кто по тыкве )))
Хорошая съёмка. Я то свои просто на плите зашпилил как есть. А тут фотографический подход к меню... нет, к тебю... нет... лана :-))

[kotturinn]

Спасибо! Ну, у меня фуд блог, поэтому я стараюсь всегда подготовить сцену и украсить блюдо перед съемкой =)

[bambuka]

Я заметил определённый стиль фотографий. Это результат в большей степени обработки? Или выбор цветов, света и проч? Хотя понятно, что это всё вместе. Но что доминирует?

[kotturinn]

Ага, это все вместе, начиная от выбора рецепта, продуктов, посуды. Освещение естественное :) но обработка скорее всего больше всего влияет на стиль, так как определенные тона доминируют на фото и всегда легко что-то исправить/добавить, если нужно.

[bambuka]

примерно понял, благодарствую)
стиль, кстати, узнаваемый)

[kotturinn]

Спасибо большое! 😊

I'm not a huge fan of squash but you're shots suggest: 'taste it! taste it! taste it!' 😉
Honestly, I would watch a werkfilm how you do these shots! Is the kitchen exploded that time? 🤣

[kotturinn]

Thank you very much! Happy that these images were able to make you interested in squash a little haha. I don't even shoot in the kitchen, I have a small room that I use as studio space where I set up my scene and take photos :)

Какая красота! Ты отлично создаёшь композицию.
Всё на своём месте.

И выглядит очень аппетитно.

Я люблю тыкву, а тем более с тыквенными семечками.
Они очень полезны. Фотографии как всегда прекрасные и зрелищные!

---

What a beauty! You're an excellent artist.
Everything in its place.

And it looks delicious.

I love pumpkin, and especially with pumpkin seeds.
They are very useful. Photos as always beautiful and spectacular!

[kotturinn]

Спасибо огромное 🏵️

Очень хорошо получился этот суп, я даже не ожидала, так что рекомендую попробовать рецепт, легко в приготовлении и полезно!
Семечки, кстати, из другой тыквы, которую я использовала для фонарика на Хэллоуин :)
