Curried Squash Soup by CrossFit Invictus San Diego

Paleo-Friendly Curried Squash Soup
Written by Karen “Krazy K” Martin

I prepared this for a food exchange and it was delicious!  Give it a shot on a rainy day, you won’t be disappointed.
Curried Squash Soup
10 oz pureed winter squash (I used acorn, but any winter squash is fine)
1/2 cup lite coconut milk ( I recommend Trader Joe’s – nothing is added)
1/2 cup water
8 oz meat of your choice thinly sliced (chicken, shrimp, pork or all of them)
6 oz bag of fresh baby spinach
2 tsp lime juice
1 tsp red curry paste (more if you like)
Bake your squash, let cool and puree in your blender or magic bullet!!
Heat squash, coconut milk and water in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Stir occasionally.
Lightly cook the meat of your choice and add it to the squash mixture.  Simmer for about 3 – 5 minutes.
Add spinach, lime juice and curry paste.  Simmer for another 3 – 5 minutes.
Garnish with finely chopped scallion.
Enjoy!

  1. A day late, but Happy Birthday, M!

  2. Hi K! Looks great but for those that can’t eat coconut, what would you recomend as a substitute? Thanks!

  3. Lucy,

    You could just leave out the coconut milk and it should still be pretty tasty!
