THAI INSPIRED SPICY CURRY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Thai Inspired Spicy Curry Butternut Squash Soup image

Love Thai flavors and I felt they would be a perfect match to play off the richness of a butternut squash soup. Curry, coconut, spicy are a wonderful to balance the richness of the squash. The first time I made it was kind of an accident. I was trying to make the traditional soup but when I tasted it lacked something. I looked to see how I could punch up the flavor. First I added the curry, I had some leftover red curry paste I made, added coconut milk and I felt I had something special. Like many soups and stews the flavor is better the following day. Enjoy!

THAI BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Thai Butternut Squash Soup image

This is my first recipe in Zaar and a variation on a recipe from Lisa Connely (Recipe #38904). I liked the original, but decided to tweak it to improve the Thainess factor and make it both sweeter and hotter at the same time. The result was oh so good, now this is going to be the butternut squash soup for me for ever! The carrots are there mostly for the added colour and mango for the sweetness, but can be substituted with some more sugar if you don't have any at hand. Season with salt and more sugar if you like, it's best when all the flavours are blending equally. You can use milder or hotter chilli depending on your preferences, I go for birdseye.
