Paleo Thai Pumpkin Soup
The season is upon us for all-pumpkin everything! We are celebrating fall with this rich, delicious, Thai pumpkin soup. It’s paleo (coconut milk, ftw!) and is the perfect meal for those chilly, fall nights.
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 yellow onions diced
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 30 ounces canned pumpkin about 2 cans
- 30 ounces canned coconut milk
- 4 cups Bonafide Provisions chicken broth
- 1/4 cup red curry paste
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- sea salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- red chili pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
-
Heat a large pot on medium heat and add the ghee or oil so it coats the bottom of the pan. Cook the onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic cloves and canned pumpkin. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until your entire kitchen begins to smell!
-
Add in the canned coconut milk, broth, curry paste and spices (except the nutmeg, salt and peppers.) Cook on medium heat until the soup comes to a low boil. Lower the heat so the soup is simmering for another 20-25 minutes.
-
Remove the soup from the heat. Pull out the bay leaves with some tongs. Add in the nutmeg, sea salt and black pepper. Blend the soup in a high speed blender (or with an immersion blender if you have one.) Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
-
Serve warm and with some pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
