Squash Soup

2 large, 3 small winter squash (Butternut, Acorn, or Pumpkin are best)
16 oz coconut milk - the kind in a can that has the nice thick stuff on top)
2c vegetable broth
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
½ t red curry paste
1t ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 425
Bake the squash whole for about 45-60 minutes. Let it cool. Then slice squash in half, scoop seeds out, and then scoop out the "meat" and mash it up a bit with a potato masher.

Put the squash, garlic, half of the broth, and all of the coconut milk into a food processor or blender and puree the heck out of it.

Pour all of that into a good size pot on the stove over medium heat. Stir and let cook until heated through, 5-10 min most likely. Add spices and season to taste. Cook for another 15-20 minutes.

You can make this more on the sweet side using just things like the cinnamon and little bit of maple syrup and almond extract, or make it more savory, eliminating the maple and using the curry/garlic. Or you can mix it all up and have the full sweet/savory experience.
