Pumpkin and Rice Soup image

Peanuts, raisins and tomato paste give this pumpkin soup with rice a deep, rich flavor without the all-day cooking time.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.
