You know autumn is just around the corner when you start seeing locally grown hard-shell (winter) squashes for sale at farm markets, as I did recently.
Some of the varieties available included acorn, spaghetti, butternut and kabocha, the latter of which I purchased.
Kabocha squash is low in calories, less than 40 per 100 grams, and contains vitamins C and A, B vitamins, fibre, iron and other good things. To make it, in a pot, I sautéed sliced onions until tender and then stirred in cubed, peeled kabocha squash, chopped garlic and ginger, and some curry powder. Stock, coconut milk and cubed apple, a fruit that works well with squash, were then added, the soup was simmered until the squash was very tender, and then it was pureed until silky smooth.
Add the 3 cups of stock , coconut milk and apples to the pot and stir to combine. Bring soup to a gentle simmer, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain that gentle simmer. Simmer soup 15 to 20 minutes, or until squash is very tender.
