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
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds (optional)
Instructions

Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- 2
Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
