SUMMARY:Make Samin Nosrat’s Butternut Squash and Green Curry Soup to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Alexa to make a Butternut Squash and Green Curry Soup (based on this recipe from Samin Nosrat). \n“This creamy\, vibrant soup is a Thai-inspired version of the puréed squash soup you know and love. The green curry paste\, which is relatively easy to find in the international aisle of the grocery store\, along with coconut milk and fish sauce\, perfectly complements the butternut squash’s sweetness. But it’s the topping — a spin on miang kham\, a snack in Thailand and Laos full of peanuts\, coconut and chiles — that’s the real standout.” \nAfter completing your soup\, freeze and label it for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers\, with a person or family that is in your heart\, or anyplace that you prefer\, when convenient. Finally\, report on where you shared your KindSoup and spread the word: Post a picture or two of you and your soups on social media with #DoKindWorks and tag us @DoKindWorks. \nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nButternut Squash and Green Curry Soup\n\n\n\nIngredients\nFor the Soup \n\n1/3 cup coconut oil or neutral-tasting oil\n9 medium (or 5 large) shallots\, diced\n1 (6-inch) piece of fresh ginger\, peeled and thinly sliced\n3 lemongrass stalks\, cut into 3-inch pieces\nKosher salt\n3 large butternut squashes (about 12 pounds)\, peeled\, seeded and cut into about ¾-inch cubes\n6 (13½-ounce) cans coconut milk\n1 cup Thai green curry paste\, or to taste\n1/2 cup fish sauce\n9 cups water or chicken stock\, preferably homemade\, more as needed for consistency\n\nFor the Garnish \n\n2 cups raw peanuts\n2 cups unsweetened raw coconut flakes\n6 tablespoons fish sauce\n20 small dried red chiles\, such as Japones or chiles de árbol\, thinly sliced\n3 tablespoon neutral-tasting or melted coconut oil\n3 tablespoon minced lemongrass\n1 Tbsp sugar\n30 lime leaves\, thinly sliced (optional)\n3 Handfuls of Thai or Italian basil leaves\n6 to 9 limes\, quartered\n\nInstructions\n\n\nHeat oven to 300 degrees. Melt oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers\, add shallots\, ginger\, lemongrass and a generous pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low. Cook\, stirring occasionally\, until shallots are tender and just starting to brown\, about 18 minutes.\nAdd squash\, coconut milk\, curry paste\, fish sauce and water or stock. Increase heat to high. When liquid comes to a boil\, reduce to a simmer and cook the soup covered until squash is tender\, about 25 minutes.\nMake garnish while soup cooks: In a medium mixing bowl\, toss together peanuts\, coconut flakes\, fish sauce\, chiles\, 1 tablespoon oil\, the minced lemongrass\, the sugar and the lime leaves\, if using.\nSpread mixture out onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes\, stirring every 3 minutes after the first 10 minutes. Remove from oven when coconut is deep golden brown\, and pour mixture immediately into a bowl to prevent overcooking. Stir to combine\, and set aside.\nRemove soup from heat. Remove lemongrass stalks from pot. Use a hand blender to purée soup. Alternatively\, transfer soup in batches to a blender or food processor and purée. Taste and adjust for salt and curry paste. Add water or stock to thin soup to the desired consistency.\nThinly slice the basil leaves and arrange on a small plate or platter\, along with lime wedges and peanut mixture.
