Follow The Directions

01

Step
8 mins

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, curry powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onion has turned translucent.

02

Step
20 mins

Stir the chicken stock and squash into the onion mixture. Simmer the soup over medium heat until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork.

03

Step
5 mins

Turn off the heat, and stir in the nutmeg, Worcestershire sauce, and peanut butter. Transfer the mixture in batches to a blender or food processor; blend until smooth, slowly pouring in the cream.

04

Step
2 mins

Reheat soup if necessary, but do not boil. Serve garnished with parsley.

For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
Pumpkin or Hubbard squash can be used as alternatives to butternut squash.
A swirl of coconut milk can replace the light cream for a dairy-free version.
If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley will also work - use about 1 teaspoon.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spice.
