Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup

I know butternut squash isn't really in season anymore, and I apologize for being so late posting fall's recipes, but damn, life got busy! If you like curry, even just a little bit, definitely give this soup a try--it was delicious! I loved eating it with some naan. In an effort to save time, I bought pre-cut squash, which made this pretty darn easy to make.
