Instructions
Brush the fleshy side of each butternut halve with olive oil. Roast (skin side up) in the oven on a lined baking tray at 200° C (or 390°F) for 30-50 minutes, or until tender.
Allow the squash to cool slightly, until you can work with it without burning your fingers (about 10 minutes).
While the butternut squash is cooling, saute onion, ginger, and garlic in olive oil using your soup maker's saute function, or in a pan.
Scoop the butternut squash flesh into the soup maker.
Add the coconut milk, vegetable stock, curry powder, nutmeg, maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
Close the lid and select the smooth soup setting (see the quick tip below).
Pour the soup into bowls, garnish, and serve.
Notes
Substitute the onion with a shallot if preferred. Feel free to add seasonal vegetables such as red pepper or carrots, to enhance the flavours.
Store your leftover soup in the fridge or freezer. To store, first, allow the soup to cool completely. Transfer it to an airtight container, and keep it in the fridge for 3-5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Serve your butternut soup with croutons, toasted nuts, garlic bread, or as preferred.
