As always, not a short of my soup, but this is what it looks
like\u2013this cook garnished the soup with toasted coconut<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I\u2019m feeling so inspired by my new ability to post recipes that I can\u2019t resist sharing this one, that I made for dinner tonight. \u00a0It\u2019s a delicious, fairly nutritious (depends on whether you think coconut milk is good or bad for you) squash soup that\u2019s tangy, creamy and exploding with flavor.<\/p>\n

I found this recipe somewhere online, and then combined it with another. \u00a0The first time I made it, the kids, who were really young, grabbed their tongues and started crying, it was so spicy. \u00a0I thought they were being wimps, but then Scott and I tried it and realized it was inedible it was that hot. <\/p>\n

Big guilty parenting moment.<\/p>\n

The next day I made a whole other recipe to try to diffuse the heat and succeeded enough for the grown-ups, but not the kids. \u00a0Needless to say, we had a lot of Thai Squash soup for a long long time.
<\/a>
The problem was the brand of red curry paste I used\u2013some authentic brand that I can\u2019t remember. \u00a01 tsp of that red curry paste was enough to over-heat 6 quarts of soup. \u00a0Now I use Thai Kitchen red curry paste which is far milder, so I use 1 Tbs\/recipe. \u00a0My advice? \u00a0If you\u2019re not using Thai Kitchen, start with 1\/2 a tsp. and work up.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
