Thai Pumpkin Soup

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Besides it being so beautiful- the weather change means to me pumpkins and warm soup! This next recipe combines them both! It's really simple to put together and the end result tastes amazing. Fan of pumpkin? Then I think you'll love it! 

Enjoy ;)

Yields 6 cups (Serves about 4), Takes less than 30 minutes to prepare
Ingredients: 

• 2 tsp coconut oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (15 oz) can of Pumpkin Puree (or 2 cups fresh pumpkin, peeled and diced)*
• 2 cups chicken broth (use vegetable broth to make it Vegan)
• 1 (13.66 oz) can of Coconut Milk

• 2 Tbsp Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste
• 1/2 tsp dried ground nutmeg
• sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions: 

1. In a pot over medium heat, add the coconut oil, onions, and garlic. Cook until onions are tender and translucent. Remove from heat. (*If you are using fresh pumpkin, cook it with the onions and garlic.)
2. In a blender, add the cooked onions & garlic, pumpkin puree, chicken broth, coconut milk, thyme, and curry paste. Blend for 45 seconds on low. (On my Blendtec, I use the first speed). 
3. Pour the ingredients back into the pan and simmer over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes. *If using fresh pumpkin add more stock as needed.)
4. Add the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper before serving.

Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Goes great over cooked rice, quinoa or beans. This would also make a great curry base to top over some steamed vegetables or cooked chicken. 

Our adventures @ the pumpkin patch...

Audrey was loving the small green ones this year...

and Ella wasn't too sure about the whole thing... ;)

She definitely didn't want to be left alone with one...

Animals, not pumpkins, scare this one...

But...from distance they're not as bad. ;)

Last stop...Children in the Corn... It's a Cornbox...(like a sandbox but with corn instead.) Clever.
