Ingredients
- 800 grams pumpkin (peeled, deseeded, and cubed)
- 400 ml coconut cream
- 750 ml vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (fresh, grated)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (fresh, chopped, for garnish)
- 1 red chili (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Step 2
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red curry paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the cubed pumpkin and stir to coat it with the curry paste mixture.
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 5
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or transfer the soup carefully to a countertop blender in batches).
Step 6
Return the pureed soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the coconut cream, lime juice, and brown sugar. Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 7
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is heated through and flavors are well combined.
Step 8
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro and sliced red chili for an extra touch of heat and freshness.
