Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Add butternut squash and chicken broth; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until squash is tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeño, and ginger; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 7 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in evaporated milk, coconut milk, sugar, salt, and black pepper; cook and stir 5 minutes more.
Step 4
Fill a blender halfway with soup. Cover and hold lid down with a folded kitchen towel; pulse a few times before leaving on to purée. Pour into a clean pot. Repeat with remaining soup. Or purée soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Garnish servings with sour cream and thyme.
