A slight variation on a recipe I received from a fellow Minnesota farm wife. A delicious soup that can also easily be cooked in a slow cooker and freezes well.
This curried squash soup has a very creamy consistency but is completely dairy-free except for the optional garnish of sour cream. Roasting the squash adds an extra depth of flavor.
A whole chicken is cut up and simmered with potatoes, onion, shallots, garlic, ginger and lemon grass and seasoned with curry powder, kaffir lime and red pepper flakes in this coconut-milk enriched soup.
