Recipe

    Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 45 mins Ready Time: 1 hr

  • melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. stir in the onion, ginger, and jalapeno pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 7 minutes. add the butternut squash and chicken broth, and bring to a boil over high heat. reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the squash is tender, about 30 minutes.
  • stir in the evaporated milk, coconut milk, sugar, salt and pepper. cook and stir 5 minutes more. pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. puree in batches until smooth, and pour into a clean pot. alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot. ladle into bowls, and garnish with sour cream and thyme to serve.
