I have been making this soup for over 13 years! I created this recipe back when I was Sous Chef at a café in NY. The owner preferred for the Exec. Chef and myself to create a new menu almost daily. At the beginning of our shift, we would take a walk to the local markets and shops and see what was available and inspiring.
Ingredients:
2 medium Butternut Squash halved, seeds removed
1/2 large yellow onion, cut into large chunks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 black pepper
2 stalks lemongrass, cut into quarters
6 cups vegetable stock
2 (15oz) cans of pumpkin puree
3 (15oz) cans of unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoon local honey
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions:
1. Cut the squash into 1-1 +1/2 inch slices. and divide among two sheet pans. Drizzle the squash with enough olive oil to coat both sides. Divide the chopped onion amongst the sheet pans and place in the center of each pan so as not to burn. Season each pan of squash with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Roast at 400 degrees, flipping halfway through, until knife tender and beginning to caramelize.
2. While the squash is cooling, place the lemon grass and stock in a pot and simmer for twenty minutes. Remove and discard the lemongrass.
3. In a second and larger pot add the coconut milk, pumpkin, curry powder, salt, ginger, honey, and cilantro and bring to a simmer.
4. Remove the skin from each slice of butternut squash. Puree the squash and onions in a food processor or blender in batches with the stock until completely smooth. Add to the pot with the coconut milk and remaining ingredients and simmer for about 15 minutes.
