Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 cups pumpkin purée
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 1 large, diced onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon, freshly grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped (for garnish) fresh cilantro
• 1 cut into wedges (for serving) lime

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the curry powder, cumin, and paprika. Stir well to coat the onions and release the spices’ aroma, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken begins to brown on the outside.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken stock, followed by the pumpkin purée and coconut milk. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.

Step 8

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finishing touch.
