FROM THE PANTRY: CURRIED PUMPKIN AND WILD RICE SOUP



From the Pantry: Curried Pumpkin and Wild Rice Soup image

There's always one can of pumpkin puree kicking around after Thanksgiving. Put it to use in this ultra-flavorful soup. We use traditional cooking techniques (part mole, part curry) by making a paste with common pantry staples and frying it in oil to create a deep layer of flavor. If you don't have wild rice, just use 1/2 cup of any dry grain you have on hand.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings (1 1/4 cups each)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup wild rice blend
4 tablespoons golden or dark raisins
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup roasted cashews, almonds or peanuts, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree

Steps:

  • Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the rice, and simmer until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Strain and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons of the raisins and 1 tablespoon of the vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
  • Pulse 1/4 cup of the nuts, the remaining 3 tablespoons vinegar and 2 tablespoons raisins, 2 tablespoons water, tomato paste, curry powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor until a coarse paste forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the coarse paste, and cook, stirring frequently, until the oil begins to separate and the paste is brick red, 6 to 8 minutes. Add splashes of water if the paste sticks to the bottom of the pan at all. Add the chicken broth, pumpkin puree and 1 cup water, and whisk until blended. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, and continue simmering until the soup has reduced and is slightly thicker than heavy cream, 30 to 40 minutes. Season with salt, and stir in about 3/4 of the cooked wild rice.
  • Divide the hot soup among 4 soup bowls. Top each with some of the remaining rice and 1/4 cup cashews, vinegar-soaked raisins and pepper flakes.

CROCK POT SOUTHWESTERN PUMPKIN SOUP (AKA KORMA SOUP)



Crock Pot Southwestern Pumpkin Soup (Aka Korma Soup) image

Almost ridiculously easy to make, this soup is based on a recipe from "S.O.U.P.S. - Seattle's Own Undeniably Perfect Soups" by Michael Congdon and is my absolute favorite soup. Although it is titled as "southwestern," this soup tastes very much like my favorite Indian dish of Chicken Korma, a mild, flavorful, non-spicy curry. I also use the soup as a baking sauce for chicken breasts, thighs, and cubed tofu - very tasty!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 3h10m

Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon green peppercorn
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder
1/8 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1 teaspoon vietnamese ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
4 cups vegetable stock
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 (8 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
grated cheddar cheese, for garnish
toasted cashews, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a hot skillet, toast the cloves, coriander seeds, and peppercorns.
  • Add the ground spices to the whole ones in the skillet- the cumin, chile powders, cinnamon, garlic powder, and nutmeg, and toast the mixture over high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until the spices begin to smoke.
  • Remove from heat, let cool, and grind together to a powder (an electric coffee grinder works well for this); set aside.
  • Pour the stock, half and half, and evaporated milk into the crock pot; stir well, cover, and turn on high.
  • Put the pureed pumpkin into a large bowl, then add the maple syrup, salt, and the now-powdered spice mixture; use a whisk to incorporate the mixture well.
  • Add the pumpkin mixture to the liquids in the crock pot, whisking it well to make sure there are no lumps.
  • Cover and let simmer on high for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Garnish servings with grated cheddar cheese and toasted cashew pieces.
  • Many thanks to Michael for creating this wonderful soup! :).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of winter squash, such as butternut, acorn, or kabocha, for a richer flavor.
  • Roast the squash before adding it to the soup to caramelize the natural sugars and enhance the flavor.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to each bowl of soup for a creamy, tangy finish.
  • Garnish the soup with chopped cilantro, green onions, or pumpkin seeds for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

Curried Southwestern Pumpkin Soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed as a starter, main course, or side dish. With its rich, creamy texture and flavorful blend of spices, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
