Base: Heat oil in a large saute pan or pot over medium heat. Add onion and pepper, cooking until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add curry paste, ginger, and garlic, continuing to cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Fillings: Add cubed butternut, broth, and coconut milk. Cover and let simmer until butternut is fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Blend: Using a handheld immersion blender (or working in batches with a countertop blender), carefully blend the mixture until smooth.
Serve: Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and soy sauce. Taste and adjust as needed (if you like it spicy, you can add more curry paste). Serve warm, optionally topped with fresh cilantro, cashews, and limes
Notes
How spicy is it? We use Thai Kitchen brand curry paste for this recipe, which brings a moderate amount of heat. If using another brand, start with 1 Tbsp and work your way up until you reach a spiciness level of your liking (some brands are much spicier).
