Coconut Squash Soup
This creamy soup has a wonderful match of coconut milk and squash. With the burst of green colour from the spinach this will be a soup served up often.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 Leek white and light green part only, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small Acorn Squash peeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger minced
- 1 Red Thai Chili Pepper
- 3 cups Vegetable Broth
- 1 can Coconut Milk 10 oz
- 1 pkg Baby Spinach chopped
- 1/4 tsp Each Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil in soup pot over medium heat. Cook leek and garlic for 3 minutes or until softened. Stir in squash, ginger and chili to coat. Add broth and coconut milk; bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until squash is tender. Stir in spinach, salt and pepper; cook until spinach wilts.
Notes
Tip: For a spicier soup, slice the Thai chili pepper before adding to soup.
