Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the acorn squash halves, cut-sides up, on a baking sheet. Distribute 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar into the cavity of each half. Season generously with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Roast in the preheated oven until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 40-60 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. (60 minutes)

04

Step

While the squash cools, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and beautifully caramelized, about 7-10 minutes. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Add the minced garlic, red curry paste, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, cooking until fragrant, about 5 minutes, ensuring the curry paste is well incorporated. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer, cooking until heated through, about 3-5 minutes. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Carefully scoop the roasted squash flesh out of the skins and add it to the pot with the vegetable stock mixture. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it is velvety smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking. Heat gently until warmed through, about 3 minutes, being careful not to boil. (3 minutes)

10

Step

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with roasted pumpkin seeds. Serve immediately and savor the delightful flavors of Thailand! (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using homemade vegetable stock.
Adjust the amount of red curry paste to suit your spice preference. A little goes a long way!
If you don't have an immersion blender, a regular blender works just as well, but be sure to vent the lid to prevent pressure buildup when blending hot liquids.
Garnish with a swirl of coconut cream or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for an extra touch of elegance.
Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
