Coconut Curry Squash Soup

I know its summertime but a big bowl of butternut squash soup sounded so good. This recipe is so simple but so creamy, rich, and delicious. This soup would be a great dish to whip up when guests stop by unexpectedly. I'm going to be making this soup a lot this fall.

Ingredients

2  butternut squash, whole

3/4 cup of light coconut milk

1 tablespoon of curry powder

1 1/2 cups of hot water

1 tsp of salt

Basmati rice

Broccoli

Directions

Skin and chop your butternut squash into small cubes. Place cubes on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and roast in a 425 oven for 30 mins or until tender. (your house will smell amazing at this point)

While the squash is roasting put the basmati rice on to cook. Scoop all of the cooked butternut squash into a high speed blender like a Vitamix. At this point add the coconut milk and half of your hot water and blend until smooth. Then add the curry spice and the salt, along with the rest of the hot water. Blend on high for several minutes until the soup is smooth and soup consistency. You might want to add more water if you like a thinner soup. Steam the broccoli last so it remains warm. Serve like pictured. 

Enjoy and remember to always be mindful and eat with compassion!
