THAI PUMPKIN CURRY SOUP


I month ago I took a cooking class at Sur La Table in Naperville, IL. I went for the Pad Thai recipe but fell in love with another recipe we made: Thai Pumpkin Curry Soup. Since that class, I’ve made it twice. It's that good! It's now going to be one of my Fall favorites.


Ingredients

2 T. vegetable oil

1 T. Thai red curry paste (I highly recommend Mae Ploy Red Curry Paste; you can purchase it from Amazon for $7.99; also, it is spicy, so if you like heat, add another tablespoon or two).

2 T. ginger, minced

1 large garlic glove, minced

1 small red onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree

2 (13 1/2 oz.) cans coconut milk

2 ½ c. chicken broth

2 T. light brown sugar

2 T. fish sauce

3 oz. Shittake mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces

1 c. green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

½ c. fresh cilantro

¼ c. fresh basil leaves


Directions

In a large sauce pan or small dutch over, over medium heat, add oil and curry paste. Using a wooden spoon, break up paste and toast until aromatic (about a minute)

Add ginger, garlic, onion, and pepper. Cook until soft (about 3 minutes)

Stir in pumpkin puree and cook until thick and reduced (about 5 minutes)

Add coconut milk, broth, sugar, fish sauce, mushrooms, and sweet potato. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally

Add green beans and continue to simmer another 7-10 minutes, until beans are tender

Add herbs and incorporate


Serve with steamed jasmine rice, either as a side or put into the soup itself, and some thick, crusty bread.


Enjoy!
