I am back on the Farm Fresh to You bandwagon. This time I am taking the time to personalize each delivery and try to meal plan around it. It’s really nice to know what will be delivered to your doorstep and that it will all taste so good, much better than the store bought produce. Last week I got some butternut squash and hemmed an hawed all week on what to make, none of the recipes looked good. I decided since the weather dropped a good 10 degrees that I would make a soup. 80 is totally soup weather in San Diego.

I like to hang out in my kitchen during the day when I only have one child, it’s my favorite PDA. (primary daytime activity) I planned on having the bisque done by lunch so Shane could have a hot meal waiting for him when he walked in the door. Awww, aren’t I the best?

I meshed a couple recipes together and came up with this.

Ingredients

2 butternut squash

1 apple, peeled and chopped

1 onion, chopped

1 TBS olive oil

2 TBS red curry paste

1 TBS coriander

1 tsp cayenne pepper

4 cups chicken broth

3/4 cup full fat coconut milk

2 tsp honey

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 375

Cut the squash in half, de seed and put on baking sheet face down.

Roast for 1 hour or until super tender. Let cool and then spoon into a bowl.

Heat the oil in a dutch oven over med high heat and then add the onion and apple. Sauté for 5 min or until tender. Add the curry paste, coriander, cayenne (You can omit the cayenne if you don’t like it spicy) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let cook for 2 minutes and then add the chicken stock and squash. Let that come to a boil and then bring it down to a simmer. Let simmer for 30 minutes.

Transfer soup to a blender or food processor and working in batches puree the soup until smooth. Put the soup back in the dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Add the coconut milk and honey and more salt and pepper to taste.

You can top your bisque with cilantro and sour cream or leave it as is. It’s delicious!
