Butternut Squash Soup

Author Cecilia

Ingredients

  • 32 ounces Butternut Squash, pre-cut
  • 1 large Onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 inches ginger, peeled, minced
  • 3 tsps Curry powder (1 TBSP - teaspoon measure fits in my jars)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 can Coconut milk
  • cayenne pepper
  • fresh chives, chopped for garnish optional
  • Pancetta, chopped and cooked to crisp for garnish optional
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

  • Use Saute function on high, when HOT add 1 tbsp oil, onion, garlic and ginger.  Saute 4 minutes, add curry powder and stir for 1 minute, add squash and stock.  Stir, making certain to not leave any curry powder on the bottom of the pot. 
  • Put lid on pot, seal.  Close vent. Pressure cook high, 10 minutes.  Natural release for 7-10 minutes.  Use immersion blender, blend until a smooth consistency.  Add coconut milk, blend.
  • Add a shake or two cayenne pepper (I add a few more to give a little kick).  Be sure to add at least one shake, it really rounds out the flavor.
    Garnish with chive and pancetta if desired.
  • If making this on the stove top, bring to a simmer after adding squash, cover and cook until tender, approximately 30 minutes
