Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chili moritas and cook, stirring occasionally, until they puff up and soften, about 3-5 minutes.

02

Step

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent, about 10-15 minutes.

03

Step

Stir in the red curry paste and smoked paprika, coating the vegetables evenly. Add the diced butternut squash and cook, stirring, until the squash is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

04

Step

Pour in the chicken stock, water, and coconut milk. Add the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the butternut squash is tender, about 1 hour.

05

Step

Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender, filling it no more than halfway. Secure the lid tightly, and pulse a few times before blending on high speed until smooth. Repeat in batches until all the soup is pureed.

06

Step

Return the pureed soup to the pot and heat gently. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup. Toss the diced squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
If you prefer a smoother soup, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, a swirl of coconut milk, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added visual appeal and flavor.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

  • Allene Wiza

    I found the soup to be a bit too spicy for my taste, so I reduced the amount of curry paste.
