Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°.
Cut Kabocha squash in half and remove seeds
Place the squash on a baking sheet wiped with olive oil. Cook for about 45 minutes or until soft and browned.
Dice squash and add to blender. Depending on the size of your blender you may need to do 2 batches.
Add coconut milk, vegetable broth and curry paste. Blend until all chunks are gone. Pour this mixture into a pan and heat on the stovetop until heated through.
In a separate pan melt butter over medium heat. Toss the apples in the butter and mix in the cinnamon. Cook covered for about 5 minutes until soft.
Add soup to your bowl and top with apples and a few chopped pecans.
Notes
*I roasted my seeds with some olive oil and salt - yum!I love this type of squash as I don't have to remove the outside. When you roast it, the skin becomes soft. Eating the outside is good because it is loaded with fiber. Most Americans are very low in fiber which is not good for our health! It is also high in omega fatty acids which adds to its anti-inflammatory benefits!
