Coconut Curry Squash Soup with Pumpkin Spice

September 27, 2022

With dropping fall temperatures, we are looking for comfort foods and anything with pumpkin spice. This recipe features Red Kuri Squash. You can find this gourd at the grocery store or local farmers' markets. Red Kuri squash is a thin-skinned orange-colored winter squash, a cultivated variety of the species Cucurbita maxima. It looks like a small pumpkin without the ridges. Inside the hard outer skin is a firm flesh that provides a delicate and mellow chestnut-like flavor. Once cooked, the skin softens and can be eaten too. Red Kuri squash is a good source of fiber. It also provides vitamin A and vitamin C, some of the B beta-carotene. This squash is perfect with fall spices in this comforting soup. Ingredients 1 Red kuri Squash, medium sized 2...
