2 tsp. curry powder
In a 10" to 12" frying pan over high heat, stir curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and cardamom until fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds.
Add onion, bell pepper, ginger, and 1/2 cup broth; stir often until liquid has evaporated, 5 to 8 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup broth and the squash.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until squash mashes easily, about 15 minutes. Uncover, return heat to high, and stir until liquid has evaporated, 4 to 8 minutes.
Remove from heat and mash mixture with a potato masher or coarsely purée in a food processor. Add salt to taste.
Poster's Notes:
I used a green pepper, but red would be sweeter. You could substitute pumpkin for the butternut squash.
I made up this squash, served it one night as is, but then enjoyed it thinned out to soup consistency with broth (I used chicken broth).
