Silky Coconut-Pumpkin Soup image

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

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 -4 shallots, unpeeled
1 1/4 lbs peeled pumpkin or 1 1/4 lbs butternut squash
2 cups coconut milk
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup loosely packed coriander leaves (cilantro)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce, to taste
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced green onion (optional)

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.
  • Clean the seeds from the pumpkin or butternut squash; cut into small 1/2-inch cubes- you should have about 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 so desire.
  • At this point, you can serve immediately or let the flavor develop by letting stand for up to an hour, then reheat just before serving.
  • Grind black pepper generously over each serving and garnish with a sprinkling of green onions, if you like.
  • Leftovers freeze very well.
