Butternut squash has a sweet nutty flavor that is delicious when roasted (as in this roasted butternut squash soup) or when baked into desserts (like this pie). But butternut squash can also go tropical - as in this rich savory soup made with creamy coconut milk. Pumpkin and squash "curries" like this one are popular in Thailand, but the Latin versions don't typically include curry powder, though a touch of chile pepper is always welcome.
Any winter squash works well in this soup. There are many options for garnishing this soup, such as crumbled queso fresco cheese, roasted corn kernels, chopped tomatoes and cilantro, spicy aji salsa, or several boiled shrimp.
