Steps:
- In a heavy skillet, or on a charcoal or gas grill, dry-roast or grill the shallots, turning occasionally until softened and blackened. Peel, cut the shallots lengthwise in half, and set aside.
- Peel the pumpkin and clean off any seeds. Cut into small 1/2-inch cubes. You should have 4 1/2 to 5 cups cubed pumpkin.
- Place the coconut milk, broth, pumpkin cubes, shallots, and coriander leaves in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the salt and simmer over medium heat until the pumpkin is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the fish sauce and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Taste for salt and add a little more fish sauce if you wish. (The soup can be served immediately, but has even more flavor if left to stand for up to an hour. Reheat just before serving.)
- Serve from a large soup bowl or in individual bowls. Grind black pepper over generously, and, if you wish, garnish with a sprinkling of minced scallion greens. Leftovers freeze very well.
SILKY COCONUT-PUMPKIN SOUP
This is a great soup that can be served with Asian or Western meals. If you can find pale, gray-green skinned pumpkin in Asian or Caribben markets, use that, or just use regular, orange pie pumpkins. This is a recipe I've adapted from "Hot Sour Salty Sweet" by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid

PUMPKIN SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK
The spices in this soup really marry up well and make this the tasty, flavorful soup it is. I can guarantee you will impress even the fussiest of eaters. If you can use organic vegetables, the soup will have a glorious color and taste more intense. Most people cannot tell that you have used coconut milk instead of cream. This makes it not only taste good, but full of all the health benefits of the coconut. Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or some chopped parsley, or drizzle with good quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy and taste the golden color of the sun!

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, stir-fry onion in oil until golden brown.
- Add shrimp, chiles, and shrimp paste; fry for 1 minute.
- Add water and bring to a boil.
- Add pumpkin, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add coconut milk and salt; return to a boil and cook until pumpkin is tender.
- Serve garnished with lemon juice, basil leaves, and cilantro.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin. For this recipe, you'll want to use a small, sweet pumpkin, such as a sugar pumpkin or a kabocha squash. These pumpkins have a smooth, creamy texture and a sweet, nutty flavor.
- Use fresh coconut milk. Canned coconut milk can be used in a pinch, but fresh coconut milk will give your soup a richer, more authentic flavor.
- Don't overcook the pumpkin. The pumpkin should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the pumpkin will make it bland and watery.
- Add the spices gradually. Start with a small amount of each spice and add more to taste. This will help you avoid overpowering the soup with any one spice.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs. Cilantro, basil, or mint are all great options. Fresh herbs will add a pop of color and flavor to your soup.
Conclusion:
Silky Coconut Pumpkin Soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The combination of pumpkin, coconut milk, and spices creates a rich and flavorful soup that is sure to warm you up on a cold day. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, be sure to give this recipe a try.
