Thai Pumpkin Soup – A quick warming meal!

This Thai pumpkin soup reminds me of my favourite Thai red curry. It’s full of flavour and deliciously warming with a hint of spice. The soup is made using a commercial red curry paste and coconut cream for a fast weeknight meal.

This is a popular recipe in our house over the winter. To make the dish more filling I’ve invented a delicious variation which turns this soup form an entree into the main meal. Roasting chicken in the oven as the soup cooks is a great way to add a little extra protein to the dish and make it more satisfying. If you were preparing this dish for a vegetarian you could fry off some tofu instead of the chicken.

Loaded Chicken Thai Pumpkin Soup

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2. Line a roasting dish with baking paper.
3. Prepare the Thai Pumpkin soup as per the recipe below.
4. Whilst the soup is cooking in the Thermomix bake 4 chicken thigh fillets for 20 minutes.
5. Dice the chicken.
6. Garnish the soup with the regular recipe toppings and include an equal amount of cooked chicken on top of the soup also.
