Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin purée
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, red curry paste, ground cinnamon, and ground turmeric. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the pumpkin purée to the pot and stir to combine with the aromatic mixture.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
Stir in the coconut milk and brown sugar. Let the soup simmer for another 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, allow it to cool slightly and blend in batches in a countertop blender. Return the soup to the pot if using a blender.
Stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and pumpkin seeds, if desired.
