Ingredients:

  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

  2. Stir in curry paste: Add red curry paste, cook for 1-2 minutes.
