The first time I made this I ate it like a soup and then realized that it was very similar to the sauce that comes with my favorite thai dish which is usually listed on the menu as just “red curry”. I ditch the rice that it comes with and usually serve mine over mashed sweet potato (try it!) The second time I made this I added chicken and vegetables and ate it like thai takeout – it was delicious both ways!
Pumpkin Coconut Curry Soup or Thai Pumpkin Red Curry (Paleo)
1 can pumpkin puree
1 can’s-worth of chicken stock/broth
onion powder to taste
garlic powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
2-3 tablespoons red curry paste (I like 3)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 can coconut milk
Add everything except the lime juice and coconut milk to a sauce pan and bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for 15 minutes. Add the lime juice, remove from heat and stir in the coconut milk. Enjoy as a soup or with chicken and vegetables. I like to add a squirt of Sriracha as well!
