Equipment

  • 1 large sheet tray
  • Foil
  • 1 large Dutch oven or pot
  • 1 Large Spoon
  • immersion or other bender

Instructions

  • 1 large butternut squash
  • 1 large carrot or a cup of baby carrots
  • 1 large parsnip
  • 1 small or half a large onion
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 2 c. chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 can of full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 t. minced ginger
  • 1 T. fresh minced mint and
  • 1 T. fresh minced Thai basil (regular basil works well too)
  • 2 T. real maple syrup
  • 1 T. fresh lime juice
  • 2 T. red curry paste
  • 1 t. soy sauce
  • 1 t. hoisin sauce
  • In a large Dutch oven or stock pot bring your broth to a simmer and add the coconut milk, ginger, fresh herbs, maple syrup, lime juice, curry paste, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce.
  • Add the roasted veggies and as many roasted garlic cloves as you wish. I used 7-8. Mash the veggies into the broth breaking up any large pieces and continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use an emersion blender to blend until smooth. You could also pour it into a blender. (Be careful here! Hot liquid tends to explode.)
  • Serve topped with more fresh herbs.
