Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Wrap each garlic half tightly in aluminum foil and place on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the squash halves cut-side down on the same sheet. Scatter the quartered onion, chopped leek, and peeled ginger around the squash. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Roast in the preheated oven until the vegetables are deeply golden and the squash flesh is easily pierced with a fork, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. The garlic should be soft and fragrant. (60 minutes)

04

Step

Once cooled slightly, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins. Scoop the roasted squash flesh into a high-powered blender or food processor, along with the roasted onion, leek, and ginger. Add 2 cups of the chicken broth. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Purée the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the blender. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Transfer the puréed soup to a soup pot. Add the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Whisk in the coconut milk, curry powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Place the pot over medium heat and gently simmer until heated through, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (15 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, try using full-fat coconut milk.
A drizzle of toasted pumpkin seeds or a swirl of crème fraîche adds a beautiful finishing touch.
If you don't have fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger can be substituted.
Feel free to adjust the amount of curry powder and cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference.
