Shhh…don’t tell Shan i’m posting another soup… Another pumpkin + curry combo, at that! While the previous Curry Pumpkin Soup took on flavours of an Indian curry, this ventures into the flavours of Thai cuisine. During our endless journey with pumpkin a few weeks ago, I tirelessly searched Pinterest for the best recipes, and this one immediately caught my eye. It looked amazing, and had my inner food stylist very jealous of that perfect cream swirl action.
The recipe is super simple, and I was on my way to (another) delicious pumpkin soup in no time. Shan wasn’t too excited about eating more pumpkin soup, so i had the pleasure of enjoying most of this one. I’ll admit, an adult human can only handle a certain amount of pureed meals before going crazy. The curry paste, complemented by a (very) generous spooning of coconut milk, and plenty of cilantro, gave this soup a warm comfort, with a bit of freshness. The mix of coconut milk into the spicy curry helps mellows everything out, while still letting those spicy flavours linger.
Although I didn’t achieve cream swirl perfection, the recipe was great, and I would definitely make it again.
Enjoy,
Bob
