Thai Panang Pumpkin Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Warm, comforting, and brimming with vibrant flavours, this Thai Panang Pumpkin Soup is a delightful fusion of creamy coconut, pumpkin, and aromatic flavours. Whether you choose to cook it on the stovetop or in the Thermomix, this soup is incredibly easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion. Featuring tender pumpkin, carrot, and potato, enriched with the bold taste of Panang curry paste, and finished with a touch of fish sauce for authentic Thai flavour, it will transport your taste buds straight to the heart of Thailand.

By utilising a good quality store bought curry paste you can have this soup on the table within 30 minutes. Its quick, full of flavour and packs the real Thai essence with flavours of coconut and spices. I have included instructions for both the stove top and the Thermomix in the recipe card at the bottom of the page. Having a Thermomix though, makes it even easier – just one bowl is all you need!

Equipment

  • Large saucepan or Thermomix

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or other neutral oil)
  • 1 brown onion, chopped (cut into quarters for Thermomix)
  • 4 cloves garlic, diced (left whole for Thermomix)
  • 2 tablespoons panang curry paste (I used Maesri brand – See Note 2)
  • 700g Kent pumpkin, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 1 large carrots, halved lengthways, chopped
  • 1 large potato, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 400ml can coconut cream
  • 2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar

TO SERVE

  • Coriander
  • Fried shallots (store-bought)
  • Sliced red chilli
  • Roti bread or fresh crunchy bread

Instructions

STOVE TOP

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add the curry paste and cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the pumpkin, carrot and potato and cook, stirring often for 2 minutes.
  • Remove 60ml ( ¼ cup ) of the coconut cream and set aside for later. Add the remaining coconut cream, stock, fish sauce and brown sugar to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetable are tender. Remove from heat.
  • Using a hand held immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternately, allow the soup to cool slightly before processing (in batches if need be) in a food processor or blender until smooth. Reheat if necessary after blending.
  • Season to taste if required. Divide soup between serving bowls and top with a drizzle of reserved coconut cream, coriander, fried shallots and red chilli. Serve on its own, with store-bought roti bread or fresh crunchy bread of choice.

THERMOMIX METHOD

  • Place the onion and garlic into the TM bowl. Chop for 5 seconds, Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the oil and saute for 3 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 (MC out).
  • Add the panang curry paste, saute for a further 3 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 (MC out).
  • Add the pumpkin, carrot and potato to the TM bowl. Cook for 2 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 2 (MC out).
  • Pour approximately 60ml (1/4 cup) of the coconut cream into a small bowl and set aside for garnish. Pour the remaining coconut cream into the TM bowl along with vegetable stock (or chicken), fish sauce and brown sugar. Cook for 20 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 (MC out and simmering basket on top to help prevent splatters).
  • Blend for 45 seconds, Speed 9 gradually increasing speed from 1 to speed 9.
  • Divide soup between serving bowls. Drizzle each bowl with a little of the reserved coconut cream. Garnish with fresh coriander, fried shallots and red chilli. Serve with roti bread or your favourite fresh crunchy bread.

Notes

  1. COOKS NOTES:
    Oven Temps: 
    Oven temperatures are for conventional, if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C.
    Measurements: We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon = 5 ml, 1 tablespoon = 20 ml & 1 cup =  250 ml.
    Herbs: All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed.
    Vegetables: All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified.
    Eggs: We use extra-large size and eggs are 55-60 g each, unless specified.
  2. PANANG CURRY PASTE
    If you cannot get Panang curry paste, replace with red curry paste! All curry pastes are slightly different in heat levels, so add according to taste. I used Maesri brand which is available from Asian grocers or Woolworths.
  3. USE ALL PUMPKIN
    If you would prefer to use all pumpkin, thats fine. All my vegetables weighed about 800g after peeling and chopping. Just use extra pumpkin.
  4. ROTI BREAD
    Roti bread is excellent to serve with this soup. You can buy Roti bread from Coles or Woolies in the frozen section for Indian foods. Cook according to packet directions. So easy and delicious. I usually buy when they go half price for an even better deal!! It’s also lovely with any fresh crunchy bread. I love sourdough with it!

Asian Pork & Broccolini Bowls ✨RECIPE✨ These Asian Pork & Broccolini Bowls ✨RECIPE✨

These pork bowls are SOOOO quick and easy to make and everyone, including the kids will enjoy it!

Not a fan of pork? Simply swap the pork mince out for extra lean beef, chicken or turkey!  You could also swap the broccolini out for snow peas, more green beans, Asian greens, zucchini or regular broccoli. 🥦 Simply use what’s you have or what your family enjoys! It’s very versatile - leave the chilli 🌶️ out or add more depending on your heat tolerance. 😎

Have a Happy day 🌺🌈

RECIPE ⬇️

Asian Pork & Broccolini Bowls
 
INGREDIENTS: - Serves 4

1 tablespoon oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 
1/2 long red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (Optional)
500g Extra Lean pork mince (or your choice of mince)
2 bunches broccolini, cut into 3cm lengths
1 cup chopped green beans
2 spring onions, cut into 3cm lengths

STIR-FRY SAUCE:
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon kecap manis
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar or honey
2 teaspoons cornflour

TO SERVE:
Cooked rice of choice 
Finely shredded carrot
Spring onions, sliced, extra to garnish
Herb to garnish if desired (I used some Thai basil as that’s what I had)

1 Combine Stir-Fry Sauce ingredients in a jug or bowl until throughly combined. Set aside.
2 Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and chilli (if using) and cook for 30 seconds. Crumble in the pork mince then cook, breaking up with a spoon for 5 minutes or until cooked through. 
3 Add the broccolini and green beans. Cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until just starting to soften. Add the prepared Stir-Fry Sauce and the spring onions and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until vegetables are just soft (but still a little crunchy) and the sauce has thickened.
4 Serve with rice and garnish with shredded carrot, extra spring onions, sliced red chilli (if using) and a sprig of herbs. Enjoy 😊

HEALTHY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS Recipe! This was lunch HEALTHY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS Recipe! 

This was lunch yesterday! Couple of my zucchini fritters with a poached egg, green leafy salad and a side of cherry tomatoes, red onion and some @stickybalsamic pearls. 

You could of course do so many things with these fritters. Serve with bacon, avocado, toast, smoked salmon, in a sandwich or wrap…the list is endless. 

Recipe below. I made them in my Thermomix but I have given directions for using a food processor. You could even just mix in a bowl. Just make sure you squeeze as much liquid as possible from the zucchini. You want the mixture to be quite firm so that you can almost shape them in the palm of your hand 🖐️ 

HEALHTY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Makes 8 

600g zucchinis
2 teaspoons salt, divided
100g grated mozzarella
50g grated light cheese
2 spring/green onions, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup basil leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
75g (1/2 cup) wholemeal self-raising flour
125g can corn kernels, drained

1 Grate the zucchini into a bowl. Add the 1 teaspoon of the salt and mix to combine. Transfer onto a clean tea towel, chux or cheesecloth and wring out to remove as much liquid as possible. (Squeeze this really well then squeeze again)

2 Place cheese, spring/green onions, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic granules, cumin, pepper and remaining salt into a food processor. Mix until throughly combined. 

3 Add the zucchini, egg and flour. Process until combined. Add the corn and fold through. The mixture should be quite firm . If it’s too wet, add some more flour. (you almost want to be able to shape them with your hands kinda firm).

4 Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 4 heaped spoonful of the mixture and flatten with the back of a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining mixture and a little more oil. Cool on a wire rack  and serve as desired.

Spiced Salmon with Couscous, Vegetables and Balsam Spiced Salmon with Couscous, Vegetables and Balsamic Pearls. 

This was such a healthy and delicious dinner!

I pretty much had a fridge raid on my vegetable drawer! I roasted some cauliflower, zucchini, red onion and capsicum and also did some steamed greens 🥦 

For the salmon , I made a dry rub with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chilli flakes, brown sugar, dried oregano and S & P.  I lightly oiled the fish then sprinkled the rub over to coat. Baked in a 180C air fryer for 6 minutes! 

I served all this with @ainsleyfoodscompany Moroccan medley couscous, a light sprinkle of crumbled feta and topped it off with the lovely  @stickybalsamic balsamic pearls for a burst of flavour in every bite!! (See Link in bio)

It was a cracker of a dish my friends 💚🍣

Have. fabulous Friday 🥂 😁
