Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups pumpkin puree
  • ½ onion, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 (15 oz) can coconut milk (preferably full fat)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp red curry paste
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1–2 tsp salt, to taste

Garnishes (Optional)

  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Creme fraiche

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the minced onions and garlic and cook until they are soft and lightly browned, releasing their flavors and aromas.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients and Simmer: Pour in the pumpkin puree, ginger paste, coconut milk, chicken stock, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, red curry paste, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Optional Blending and Garnishing: For a creamier texture, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Serve hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds and a dollop of creme fraiche if desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for maximum creaminess; light versions yield a thinner soup.
  • If you prefer, heavy cream can substitute coconut milk.
  • To thicken the soup, prepare a cornstarch slurry with equal parts cornstarch and water, then slowly add it while stirring until desired consistency is reached.
  • Adjust red curry paste amount to control soup spiciness.
  • Blending the soup is optional but recommended for a silky texture.
