Kabocha is a Japanese winter squash. It looks like a squat green pumpkin. It has the texture of pumpkin but tastes more like a sweeter butternut squash. It is high in iron, vitamin C, and potassium. It's meat is bright orange and it's packed full of seeds too (I roasted them, a bit chewier than pumpkin seeds but still good).
I came up with this recipe on my own, but it's pretty much like any basic squash soup. This would also be wonderful with most other squash varieties as well.
1 kabocha squash
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 cup vegetable broth
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
2 cups of kale, chopped
3 cups water
3 cups water
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
Bake for about an hour, until totally soft.
While that roasts, chop up the veggies.
Add the garlic and cook for a few more minutes.
Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Blend until smooth. You may need to add a bit of water if it's too thick. ( I don't know what happened to the picture of this step, sorry!)
