Method

  1. Trim the stem ends from the squash and chop it coarsely.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

  3. Add the chopped squash, onion, bell pepper, and carrot to the Dutch oven.

  4. Cook the vegetables, stirring often, until the onion becomes translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.

  5. Add the curry paste, paprika, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt to the Dutch oven.

  6. Continue cooking and stirring the vegetables until they start to soften, which should take about 5 minutes.

  7. Pour in the broth, cover the Dutch oven, and bring the mixture to a boil.

  8. Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become very soft, which should take about 15 minutes.
