Butternut Squash Soup
Number of Servings: 
Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 1 butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
  • 1 14.5-oz can chicken broth
  • 12 ounce evaporated milk
  • 1⁄2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)

Directions

  1. Sauté onion, ginger and jalapeno in butter in a large pot. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
  2. Add squash and chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Simmer until the squash is tender—about 30 minutes.

  4. Pour the soup into a blender, filling no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel and carefully puree soup. Puree in batches until smooth.
  5. Serve in small bowls and garnish with sour cream and thyme.
