Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1.5kg pumpkin or squash, peeled and roughly chopped
4 tsp sunflower oil
1 onion, sliced
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 lemongrass, bashed a little
3-4 tbsp Thai red curry paste
400ml can coconut milk
850ml vegetable stock
lime juice and sugar, for seasoning
1 red chilli, sliced, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the pumpkin or squash in a roasting tin with half the oil and seasoning, then roast for 30 mins until golden and tender.
  • Meanwhile, put the remaining oil in a pan with the onion, ginger and lemongrass. Gently cook for 8-10 mins until softened. Stir in the curry paste for 1 min, followed by the roasted pumpkin, all but 3 tbsp of the coconut milk and the stock. Bring to a simmer, cook for 5 mins, then fish out the lemongrass. Cool for a few mins, then whizz until smooth with a hand blender, or in a large blender in batches. Return to the pan to heat through, seasoning with salt, pepper, lime juice and sugar, if it needs it. Serve drizzled with the remaining coconut milk and scattered with chilli, if you like.

Provided by Mrs Beeton wannabe

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

15 ml sunflower oil
1 large onion, chopped
20 ml grated ginger
1 -2 red chile (optional)
125 ml coriander (finely chopped)
1 kg pumpkin, cubes (fresh or frozen)
1 1/4 liters vegetable stock (or chicken)

10 -15 ml garlic, crushed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan and add onion, saute until translucent.

  • Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmeer for 20 mins.
  • or until pumpkin is tender.
  • Stir in the rest of the ingredients and process until smooth.
  • Taste, adjust seasonin, adding more stock or coconut if neccessary and reheat gently before serving.
  • ***TIP***The first time I made it, my blender was on the blink, so I cooked it a little more, and finished it off with a hand whisk.
  • Garnish with a red chilli flower garnish or a sprinkling of chopped green chives (or both) You can add salt afterwards if required.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a pumpkin that is small to medium in size, with a deep orange color and a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid pumpkins that have any soft spots or blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the pumpkin and reduce the risk of accidents.
  • Roast the pumpkin before using it: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality coconut milk: Coconut milk is a key ingredient in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for coconut milk that is thick and creamy, and avoid brands that contain added sugars or preservatives.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Overcooked soup will be watery and bland. Simmer the soup for just long enough to heat it through and allow the flavors to meld.
