Directions: |
Directions:Spread pumpkin in a single layer onto cookie sheets (I usually use 3) that have been sprayed with Pam. Lightly dust with cinnamon and bake for about 30 min at 375º or until nice and soft. Your house will smell wonderful.
While pumpkin is baking, put the spices in a dry skillet and toast until fragrant, stirring/swirling continuously - about 3 min.
Mash toasted spices into a fine powder in mortar. Add curry paste and mix well. Set aside.
When pumpkin is ready, heat oil in a large soup pot and saute onion for about 3 min. Add curry paste mixture and cook an additional 1-2 min.
De-glaze the pot with some chicken stock (1/4 cup) if needed.
Add pumpkin (and juices) to onion/curry mixture and cook for 5-10 min. If there is not enough juice from the baked pumpkin, cooking time will have to be shortened or skipped.
Add chicken stock and bring to a medium simmer - let simmer for 30-40 min.
Remove from heat and puree soup until smooth
Add coconut milk and stir well
Add a few dashes of soy sauce and fish sauce (to taste)
Add salt if needed (this will depend on your chicken stock)
Serve with a dash of chopped cilantro on top |

Notes: Cinderella pumpkin is wonderful; I find it in our local Asian food store along with Thai soy sauce. They are big, but cook up very tender and without being stringy. It purees easily with just a hand-blender. If you use butternut squash instead, you may need to adjust cooking times a little.
