Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon, grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 cups, sliced button mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the red curry paste and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly to release its aroma.
Add the pumpkin puree and mix until well combined.
Pour in the vegetable broth, stir, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk, stirring until fully incorporated.
Add the sliced mushrooms, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the flavors are well blended.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lime juice.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or leave it slightly chunky if you prefer more texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice, if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
