We’ve used full-fat coconut milk, which yields a decadent, silky soup.

Add oil to pan; swirl to coat.

Add shallots; saute 3 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.

Add garlic and ginger; saute 1 minute.

Add 2 cups water, coconut milk, salt, red pepper and squash; bring to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until squash is tender, stirring occasionally.

Place squash mixture in a blender.

Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender.

Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters).

Garnish with additional pepper and cilantro leaves, if desired.
