Thai Coconut Pumpkin Soup

Thai Coconut Pumpkin Soup is what you make when you want something exotic tasting with very little effort! Think - classic pumpkin soup with Thai Red Curry vibes. Love the beautiful coconut undertones. It's so good!

THAI COCONUT PUMPKIN SOUP

2 tbsp vegetable oil (or other oil)
1 brown onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 tbsp Thai red curry paste, Maesri recommended
1.8kg/ 3.6 lb pumpkin or butternut squash – peeled, deseeded then chopped into 3cm / 1.2" chunks (~1.3 kg/2.6 lb)
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock, salt reduced (or chicken stock)
400ml/ 14 oz (1 can) coconut milk, full fat, best quality
1 tbsp fish sauce (sub light or regular soy sauce)
Garnishes (semi-optional): Coriander/cilantro, sliced red chilli, crispy Asian shallots

1. Heat oil in large pot over medium high. Cook onion and garlic for 2 min, then add the curry paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add pumpkin, stir for 2 minutes.
2. Set aside ¼ cup of coconut milk for drizzling. Put the rest of the coconut milk, stock and fish sauce in the pot, bring to simmer. Cook 8 minutes or until pumpkin is soft then blitz.
3. Ladle into bowls, swirl with coconut milk, top with garnishes! I dunked with store bought Malaysian roti (cook from frozen, SO GOOD!)

Just made this. Followed the recipe (with Butternut), but only half amount of everything. Used self made Thai chili jam instead of the red curry paste. The soup was amazing! The suggestion to eat it with Roti (or chapatti) is great. It is as if those two dishes are made for each other. A keeper. My wife asked me to make it again. Tomorrow...

Thanks for sharing!

I made this soup today and it was absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe faithfully. I did add 1 lump of cane sugar to make it a touch sweeter but it really isn’t necessary. This recipe is keeper and I will make again. Thanks for sharing.

This looks amazing for our upcoming fall and winter months here in the US! I will have to use soy sauce in place of fish sauce to make it vegan for my mom. And probably less curry paste because my kids don’t do spicy lol.
Thank you so much for sharing so many amazing recipes!

I garnished it with fresh tomatoes and parsley. I used canned pumpkin as a shortcut and garlic powder. I used fresh New Mexico hatch green peppers and conventional jarred tomato salsa instead of chili paste. The hatch peppers look like green bell peppers, but they are very spicy!

Made this! Added thin sliced beef and some pan-fried bok choi
Make sure not to cook the curry paste to long, just long enough for it to soften up. Turns bitter real quick, learned the hard way.

Omg yummo, I’ve always done the traditional way I’m definitely trying this one, I can taste it already.

It's so delicious. I have some questions: How does that soup flavor? Do we need to add sugar? And does coconut milk contains sugar? Thank you :d
