Here comes my pumpkin soup recipe with coconut milk and cumin, well, more of a suggestion, since I can not give any specific information, I cook as more "free muzzle". I hope you enjoy it anyway.

I always take hokkaido squash for this soup, as he does

  1. is also available in handy sizes and
  2. does not need to be peeled.

Here we go:

ingredients

  • 1 Hokkaido pumpkin, palm size
  • 4 carrots
  • 1 piece of ginger, about walnut size
  • 2 onions
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Beef broth or vegetable broth, if necessary also bouillon cubes with water
  • 1 can of coconut milk
  • some chilli powder or fresh chili, amount depending on the desired sharpness
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • Cumin to taste (I take a tight tsp full)
  • a little oil to sauté onions and garlic

preparation

  1. Take the Hokkaido pumpkin and (if available) a strong man who shares it for you. Otherwise, try yourself with a big knife and quarter this. So the pumpkin, NOT the man.
  2. With a large spoon, the coarse fibers and seeds that the pumpkin holds are scraped out. Now you can cut the good into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Next, 4 carrots should be peeled, after which they may piece by piece make a first acquaintance with the pumpkin in a bowl. At the beginning I pulled the fur over the ears and the garlic and finely diced it.
  4. Now that everything is prepared, onions and garlic are allowed to soak in hot oil and start to sweat. But they should only turn glassy, ​​because too much heat not only harms the human skin.
  5. Then her acquaintance with the orange-colored vegetables is deepened. Okay, in fact the pumpkin is a berry fruit and not a vegetable, but that's not exactly what we do, is it?
  6. The four meet at a tête-à-tête in a large enough pot, in which we also give some bathwater in the form of broth. Then we give them time to get to know each other a little bit in the mild heat. After some time, we can dare to give them a bit more heat and we add the chopped chili without seeds.
  7. When they really got going then they can barely prevent them from uniting. So that this does not get out of control, we help them with a blender. However, since they are always completely exhausted, a little cooling down in the form of a coconut of coconut milk, which you add, is not a bad idea.
  8. Curry and cumin now want to get some of the fun and begging to be allowed into the bath too. Let's just treat them the fun!

The result is a full-bodied soup that you are welcome to eat in, but also a few Mettenden (Mettenden) like to bathe in it. Well get it!
