A smooth and creamy coconut squash of butternut squash is a nice change of pace from bacon and eggs.
How to Make Creamy Coconut Squash
I like very much to make these types of creams because they can be kept in airtight containers and organize both the food and the dinner the following day. It will suffice to warm it, serve with fresh herbs and it will be ready to enjoy.
Can you use frozen squash?
While it’s in season and at its peak go for the fresh butternut squash! But, yes throughout the year, you can thaw the squash and add it to the processor following the instructions below from there.
Save the Squash Seeds
Don’t let the seeds from butternut squash go to waste. You can toast them with your favorite seasonings just like you would do with pumpkin seeds. They are a healthy, crunchy snack-and also a great topping for butternut squash soup.
Start by soaking the seeds in a bowl of water for a few minutes. This will help separate the seeds from the pulp. Pat the seeds dry with a clean dish towel or paper towels, then toss with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and whatever spices (sweet or savory) that you like before roasting.
Using Other Squash for Creamy Coconut
You can substitute honeynut, acorn squash, and sugar pumpkin for the butternut squash in this soup. Each has a similarly sweet, creamy texture
