Curried Pumpkin Apple Soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium cooking pumpkin, halved and seeded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 cup leeks, chopped, white and pale green parts only
  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 can light coconut milk
  • 1/2 can Masaman curry paste (I used Maesri)
  • Salt and Pepper

Directions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 F.
  2. Coat the pumpkin flesh with some olive oil and place face down in a roasting pan.  Add about an inch of water to the pan and place in the oven.  Bake until the pumpkin is soft, about 45-50 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let cool for a bit, then scoop out into a bowl and puree with an immersion blender.  Set aside.  (You can use canned pumpkin and skip this step, if you prefer.)
  3. In a large pot, saute the onion, garlic, and leeks in olive oil on medium-low heat until tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the apples and saute for 2 more minutes.
  5. Add the chicken stock and coconut milk.
  6. Add the curry paste and stir well to combine.
  7. Now add the pumpkin puree in and slowly stir until everything is combined.  If you want a stronger curry flavor feel free to add more of the paste.  Let the soup simmer for 40 minutes.
  8. Cool briefly and blend with an immersion blender.
  9. Heat for another 5 minutes or so. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with some hearty bread!

  4. JENNNNIIIIFFEERRRRR! Why didn’t you cook like this while I still worked with you? This all looks and sounds delicious. Now excuse me while I finish eating processed bacon & generic ramen noodles.

    • It was one of those soups that was actually better the next day after the flavors really had a chance to blend. I liked it that night, I loved it the next night.

  20. This sounds truly delicious, healthy and satisfying and is the perfect meal to serve on a cold Brooklyn fall night. I haven’t tried my “non-trained” hand in soup yet but I believe its time! I think I’ll swap the chicken stock for veggie stock to satisfy my vegetarian(or pescatarian if we’re being politically correct) pallette. Thanks for posting, when I give it a try I’ll link back!

  22. I’m going to forward this recipe to my hubby. He is the cook in the family and this soup would look amazing in the new bowls I made for Thanksgiving. Don’t ya think? I may have him take your advice and make it a day in advance to let the flavors blend. Thanks for visiting my blog too.

  27. Awesome twist on squash soup! I love the coconut milk in this recipe rather than cream. Is that yogurt I see on top? I will give it a try when I am back in my own kitchen.
