Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 4 cups pumpkin puree about 2 15-oz cans
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can 14 oz coconut milk
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: roasted pumpkin seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release its flavors.
- Add Pumpkin and Liquids: Pour in the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer the Soup: Let the soup simmer gently for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.
- Final Seasonings: Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and lime juice. Heat through, but do not bring to a boil. Season with salt to taste.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro and optional roasted pumpkin seeds before serving.
