Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) cilantro
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) pumpkin seeds
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the red curry paste to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to release its aroma.
Pour in the vegetable broth, pumpkin puree, and coconut milk. Stir to combine.
Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.
Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the bisque hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and pumpkin seeds, if desired.
