Butternut Squash and Coconut Soup with Shrimp

Savor this Thai-inspired soup, with a base of creamy coconut milk, rich butternut squash, a hint of spicy peppers and succulent shrimp (these can be omitted for a vegan version of the soup). For a shortcut, look for peeled and cubed butternut squash in the produce department. Serve over rice or noodles if you like.
