Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 medium red onion, diced, divided
2 teaspoons brown sugar
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 cups chicken broth, or to taste, divided
1 (13 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk (not low-fat)
2 tablespoons red curry paste, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 (2 pound) kabocha squash
1 large red bell pepper, diced
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced, or more to taste
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh basil, or more to taste
2 small serrano peppers, thinly sliced
3 medium limes, halved

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a soup pot over high heat. Add chicken to hot oil; cook, stirring occasionally until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/2 of the red onion and brown sugar. Cook until onions have softened and sugar starts to caramelize on the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Stir in black pepper, cumin, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss in ginger and garlic; stir until sizzling, about 1 minute.
  • Add 4 cups chicken broth and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil. Add coconut milk and curry paste. Add cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Stir in fish sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Carefully cut squash with a large knife on a cutting board. Remove seeds and peel and discard skin. Cut flesh into bite-sized pieces. You should have about 1 1/2 pounds squash.
  • Add squash to soup and salt to taste. Add remaining chicken broth to cover squash. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until pumpkin is just barely tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in remaining red onion, bell pepper, and green onions; cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, and stir in 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/4 cup basil. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with more cilantro, basil, green onions, and serrano chiles. Squeeze lime juice into each bowl.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pumpkin: Look for pumpkins that are deep orange in color and have a firm texture. Avoid pumpkins that have blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is what gives the soup its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality paste. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a vibrant color.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: The amount of curry paste and other spices that you add to the soup is up to your personal preference. If you like a spicy soup, add more curry paste. If you prefer a milder soup, add less curry paste and more coconut milk.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Add the herbs just before serving.

Conclusion:

Curry chicken pumpkin soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin. The soup is packed with flavor and nutrition, and it can be easily customized to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give curry chicken pumpkin soup a try.
