curry butternut squash soup (vegan & gluten free)

photo: this week for dinner

so when it comes to my recipes, i cook like my mom and grandma which means no measuring! - so these are estimates. i am trying to get into the habit of writing ingredients down right after i prepare the food, so i don't forget. it's not that i don't like recipes - i just don't like to read & follow directions.
 
INGREDIENTS 
1-2 whole butternut squash (i use the container from costco - saves time. already peeled & cleaned)
1 quart of vegetable stock (chicken stock if your not a veg)
1 med sweet onion
2 garlic cloves
2t green curry paste*
1t kefir lime leaves*
1t lemongrass*
1T curry powder
1t cayenne
1T sugar or agave nectar

DIRECTIONS 
Sweat onions/garlic and paste & spices till onion is cooked – add squash/coconut milk/stock to incorporate all the flavors. Simmer till butternut squash is tender & then hit with the wand mixer in the pan till smooth. serve with some toasted cashews.


*this is the brand that i use: www.thaitaste.co.uk/
