I love to experiment when cooking so when I bought some white miso paste at the Asian store recently, I thought I would add it as a soup base to make a vegan soup. This butternut squash soup is perfect for the fall weather.
Ingredients:
1 medium size butternut squash peeled, seeded and diced
3-4 heaping Tbs of Shiro (white) Miso
8 cups water
1 onion chopped
1 Tbs grated ginger
1 Tbs grated garlic

1Tb curry powder (I used McCormick brand or us madras)
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder (or to taste)
1 can coconut milk
1-2 Tbs canola oil
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp grated fresh nutmeg
salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:

Cut the butternut squash in half. Then peel off the skin with a vegetable peeler. Remove and discard all the seeds.


Diced into small pieces. Chop onion and prepare ginger and garlic. In a large soup pot, heat canola oil and saute onion with a little salt for 2-3 minutes. Then saute ginger and garlic for a minute.
Next add curry powder, cumin powder, cinnamon powder and nutmeg. Saute spices in oil with onions for 30 seconds. Add 8 cups of water to pot.

Mix the miso paste with some of the water from the soup pot until smooth. Add to pot with the whites of scallions. Boil for 20-25 minutes until squash is tender.

Blend smooth with blender or immersion blender. Add coconut milk and stir well. Flavor with 1-2 tsp lime juice. Serve with more lime as garnish. Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteHmmm....one of my most favorite soups - adding curry, just takes it over the top!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious and comforting, just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is one beautiful soup, Ramona! I love how you styled it...so appealing! Butternut squash is probably my favorite winter veggie.....yet I'm afraid to try and make a soup because I'm afraid it won't taste as good as those I've tasted! But I'm going to add this to my Pinterest soup board and give it a try! : )
ReplyDeleteI have half a butternut squash in the fridge and some miso. I've got to make this. I looks and sounds delicious! thanks!
ReplyDeleteRamona, this soup is beautiful! I could eat like 10 bowls of this!
ReplyDeleteThis soup is beautiful in the blue bowl and I love the swirly on top. I have some butternut squash that I had planned to make a cake with. Your soup is probably the healthier choice!
