Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/2 cup jasmine or basmati rice
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons golden raisins
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more, for serving
Kosher salt
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

Cook the rice according to package directions; fluff and set aside.
Meanwhile, pulse the tomato paste, vinegar, raisins, curry powder, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup of the peanuts and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor until a coarse paste forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the paste and cook, stirring frequently, until the oil begins to separate and the paste is brick red, 6 to 8 minutes. (Add a tablespoons or two of water if the paste sticks to the bottom of the pan at all.) Add the chicken broth, pumpkin puree and 2 cups water and whisk until blended. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, and continue simmering until the soup has thickened slightly, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir in about three-quarters of the cooked rice and adjust the seasoning with salt.
Serve the soup topped equally with the remaining rice and 1/4 cup peanuts. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and the chives.

My friend, Ginny, calls this her "Thai-soupie thingo" - it's another soup when you are hungry and pushed for time. You can use chicken which is already cooked, otherwise fry raw chicken breasts in the usual manner. The preparation time is based on chicken already cooked.
