This is a kabocha squash soup that my Asian mother made and since then I have loved it! It's a very healthy one-of-a-kind squash soup.

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 green onions, chopped
2 pounds kabocha squash, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon dried shrimp

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green onions until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kabocha squash, shrimp, sugar, and salt; cook and stir until squash is lightly browned but still tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
