TJ's Curried ButterNut Soup

Ingredients:
1 large butternut squash.
1 1/2 heads of garlic, smashed.
2 Shallots, finely diced.
3 TBSP Red curry paste.
2 cans coconut (cream, milk or combination).
4 cups strong veggie broth.
Some (4 or 5?) chicken thighs, sliced thinly against the grain.
A bunch of broccoli. Be generous.
Some yellow/Dutch potatoes.
A bunch of crushed/chopped peanuts.

Instructions: Cook this is a stockpot. Cast iron is a good idea.
Peel squash. Quarter it. Remove seeds & goop.
Rub squash with high-temperature oil.
Roast squash: 45 minutes at 425. Turn halfway through.
Cook curry paste for two minutes.
Add shallots and garlic. Cook 'till translucent.
Dice the cooked squash. Add to curry, onions, garlic. Re-heat.
When it's hot, add broth & coconut. Re-heat again. Blend 'till very smooth with immersion blender.
While it’s simmering, cook chicken, broccoli & potatoes separately (Reminder: they take different times). Season liberally with salt & pepper.
Combine solids with blended liquids just before serving. Dust with peanuts.
Serve and enjoy!
