Ingredients
Method
In Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in curry paste; cook for 2 minutes. Add squash; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in 6 cups water; bring to boil.
Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer until squash is very tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Working in batches, purée soup in blender until smooth. Wipe pan clean; return soup to same pan over medium-high heat. Stir in 1 cup of the coconut milk and the salt; simmer until warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Divide among serving bowls; lightly drizzle with remaining coconut milk. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro (if using).
