Authentic Thai Pumpkin Soup Recipe - Delicious & Easy

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups pumpkin, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp red curry paste
  • 1 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Pumpkin

    Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot and stir well. Cook for about 5 minutes.

    This helps enhance the flavor of the pumpkin.
  3. Add Liquids

    Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir in the red curry paste and soy sauce.

    Make sure the curry paste is fully dissolved.
  4. Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.

    Check occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick.
  5. Blend

    Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches.

    Let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid splashes.
  6. Season and Serve

    Stir in lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

    Enjoy with crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
