Curried Butternut Squash Soup – Back 2 Back

I had wanted to do this recipe during the fall season but like I said before, for some reason I couldn’t get my hands on a single butternut squash so here is a reminiscent of that period. The weather is starting to heat up again and air-cons are on full blast. Why make a spicy soup? I love a good excuse for using my curry powder.

This soup does taste like some curry dip where you pour it all over your ‘roti kosong’ but I still prefer to sip it from a bowl. You can totally leave out the curry powder and make this a simple squash soup. Also, don’t throw away the seeds of the squash. Clean away the membrane, let it dry and roast it in the oven. They’re delicious in soups and salads!

My favourite curry powder, of course use
any curry powder to your preference
