Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Slice winter squash in half and place open side down on a baking sheet. Place in oven and bake until tender, approximately 30 minutes. Let cool, then remove the seeds and skin. Mash well. In a soup pot, heat water and add squash. Cook for 2 minutes on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and add coconut milk, ginger, garlic, and chili powder. Remove soup pot from stove. Salt and pepper to taste. |
