Traditional tastes go tropical in this comforting holiday soup. Make it up to a day in advance, and store, covered, in refrigerator. (Note: It also freezes well.) Reheat over medium heat, adding more broth or water to obtain desired consistency. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 onion, chopped (1 cup) |
2 carrots, chopped (1 cup) |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth, divided |
2 (15-ounce) cans unsweetened pumpkin |
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 1/4 teaspoons salt |
garnishes: drizzle of whipping cream or crème frâiche, toasted coconut, lime zest curls |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add onion and carrot, and cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir in garlic, and cook 30 seconds. Add 1 can of chicken broth; bring to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes or until vegetables are very tender. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.
2. Transfer mixture to a blender, and puree until smooth. Return mixture to Dutch oven, and add pumpkin, coconut milk, and remaining can of chicken broth, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; stir in lime juice and next 3 ingredients. Garnish, if desired.
3. Note: Pumpkin Coconut Soup can be made the day before. Pour into a screw-top container, and store in the refrigerator until you're ready to hit the road.
