It’s pumpkin time! And since I love it (as you can see from the various recipes already published) here is a new and truly delicious recipe. Pumpkin and Coconut Soup with Prawns and Sweet Potatoes. This soup is truly something spatial!
How to Make Pumpkin and Coconut Soup
When time is short, a vegetable cream is always the best thing. I admit that I am quite selective when I prepare creams because for example the classic vegetable purée made with Minestrone is not one of my favourite dishes, at all. I find that a few well-matched vegetables are the best combination to be able to savor them. Pumpkin and sweet potatoes are one of my favourite combinations. I had recently prepared the Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Soup and Sausage, and it occurred to me to try to create a slightly different cream and here is the Pumpkin and Coconut Soup with Prawns and Sweet Potatoes!
I decided to opt for a slightly exotic flavour by using coconut milk and accentuating the flavour with coconut butter to whip the cream, instead of the classic butter. Ginger is an ingredient that enhances coconut and goes well with both pumpkin and sweet potato. To accompany it, I chose to prepare garlic prawns to give a nice contrast and also because garlic and ginger are the basis of practically all oriental cuisine. I used the oil released from cooking the prawns to decorate and enrich the soup itself. And finally, chopped fresh coriander and fresh lime for an aromatic and fresh note.
This soup was meant to be eaten hot, but I found it cold and pleasantly delicious too. It may seem complicated, but in reality, it’s very simple, and now I’ll explain how to prepare this delicious Pumpkin and Coconut Soup, which will captivate you, or at least, I hope!
