Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the red hot chili pepper finely. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat.
- Wash and dry the coriander leaves, then chop them roughly.
- In a large pot or saucepan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of curry paste to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1-2 minutes. This helps to release the flavors and aroma of the curry paste.
- Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring it to a boil.
- Add the 1 cup of canned pumpkin, stirring well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Stir in the 1 cup of coconut milk and the finely chopped red hot chili pepper.
- Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, ensuring that it is heated through.
- If you prefer a smooth consistency, you can use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Taste the soup and add salt or additional seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional coriander leaves if desired. Enjoy your Simple Thai Pumpkin Soup with some crusty bread or as is.
Tips:
- 1: For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the soup before serving.
- 2: Adjust the amount of curry paste according to your heat preference. If you like it spicier, feel free to add more!
- 3: If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of vegetable broth slightly or let the soup simmer longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
- 4: Consider adding other veggies, like sweet potatoes or carrots, to add more depth and nutrition to the soup.
- 5: Garnish with additional fresh coriander, a squeeze of lime juice, or a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for extra flavor and texture.
There you have it – a luscious bowl of Simple Thai Pumpkin Soup that promises to warm your soul and tantalize your taste buds. It's amazing how a few simple ingredients can create such a rich and complex flavor profile. Enjoy your soup hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves for an extra touch of freshness!
