Instructions

  1. Heat oil and sesame oil in a big cast iron pan.
  2. Add curry powder and garlic. Saute for a minute or so until curry is fragrant and garlic lightly browned. Add onions and squash/pumpkin and saute a little longer.
  3. Pour over enough hot water to cover veggies. Let simmer covered for about 30 minutes until squash/pumpkin is tender (This step might take longer depending on what type of squash/pumpkin you use).
  4. When everything is done, puree soup to desired consistency using a hand-held blender. You might need to add more water.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Just before serving add a tbs or so of the chopped basil to each bowl of soup.
