Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃) F (175 degrees C)

Cut squash in half lengthwise. Discard seeds.

Place squash cut side down on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

Baked at 350℉ (180℃) F for about 45 minutes or until tender. Cool, scoop out pulp and discard skins.

Melt the butter in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in the leek, onion, ginger, pepper, garlic and lemongrass.

Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the squash pulp, broth, water, sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes.

Place once half of the mixture into a food processor and process until smooth. Strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl.

Discard the solids and repeat with the remaining mixture.

Return the strained squash mixture to the pot and stir in the coconut milk and lime rind.

Cook over medium heat until heated through.

Serve in a bowl sprinkled with the green onions and cilantro if desired.
