Kick-off 2025 with health, wellness, and a touch of indulgence. Chef Brooke’s cozy Honeynut Squash Soup, featured on our winter Food & Wine Pairing menu at the Adobe, is the perfect way to embrace the season.

Honeynut Squash Soup

Prep time: 30 mins
Total Time: 120 mins

~ Ingredients ~

2 Small Honeynust squash
3 Can of coconut milk
1 Kaffir lime leaf
1 Kaffir Lime
1T Extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
Garnish of choice

~ Instructions ~

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut honey nut squash in half and remove the seeds. Rub with olive oil and salt and place face down on a sheet tray. Roast at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the squash is tender to the touch.
• Place two cans of coconut milk into a sauce pot
• After the squash has cooled, scoop it out of the skin and into the coconut milk mixture. Add one kaffir lime leaf
• Heat up the coconut milk and squash mixture and let simmer for 30 minutes
• Remove the kaffir lime leaf and place the mixture into a vitamix. Blend on high for 20-30 seconds or until the soup is completely smooth and has turned a bright yellow color. Add a squeeze of the kaffir lime and salt to taste. The soup consistency can be adjusted by adding water.
• Garnish with your favorite seasonal ingredient. I recommend pomegranate, chives, or candied pepitas.
