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.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a small chopped chili pepper along with the garlic and ginger.
If you prefer a thinner soup, adjust the consistency by adding a bit more vegetable broth.
Serve with crusty bread or a side of steamed rice for a more filling meal.
This Thai Pumpkin Soup is not only warming and flavorful but also offers a comforting, nutritious meal that’s perfect for chilly days. Enjoy the rich textures and exotic flavors that make Thai cuisine so beloved worldwide!
