4 servings
- 1 medium butternut squash (about 3 lb), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 tsp curry powder
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
Ingredient noteDried cayenne pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid cayenne pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
