Ingredients
1 Tbsp curry powder
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp chili flakes
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 cups vegetable broth
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, curry powder, garam masala, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and chili flakes; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the butternut squash cubes and stir to coat in the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until squash is tender, about 20 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a creamy texture, leaving some chunks for substance.
Stir in the chickpeas and coconut milk, cooking for another 5-10 minutes to heat through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors deepen significantly after sitting overnight. You can garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime before serving if desired.
