Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
7 mins

Add the diced shallots, carrots, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Sauté until the shallots are translucent and softened, releasing their aromatic fragrance. (5-7 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Introduce the cubed butternut squash, chicken broth, curry powder, honey, white pepper, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. (2 minutes)

04

Step
20 mins

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the butternut squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork. (15-20 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Once the squash is cooked through, carefully transfer the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Puree until the soup is smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids. (3 minutes)

06

Step
3 mins

Return the pureed soup to the pot and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure everything is well combined and heated through. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add a pinch of salt, more honey for sweetness, or a dash of cayenne for extra heat.

For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup. Toss the cubed squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
If you prefer a smoother consistency, strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
Garnish with a swirl of coconut milk or cream, a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds, or a few fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an elegant presentation.
