This is one soup recipe I cannot forget as I felt this is one of the most flavorful soups I have ever tasted. My husband who is a great connoisseur of soups, apparently tasted this at work. So he recollected the ingredients and finally we figured out that it was pumpkin coconut soup. The whole 'brain storming' session was an interesting. In the end, I was happy to satisfy his palate and in the process got to taste an amazing soup.
Check it out for Day 2 Week 1 of BM #49 where Pumpkin is the star ingredient of my choice.

Ginger, grated 1/2 tsp
Carrot, peeled, diced 1 cup
Capsicum (I used Orange colored one), finely chopped 1/2 cup
Pumpkin, cubed, cooked and pureed 1 1/2 cups

Vegetable Broth 2 cups
Green Chilli paste as needed (I used about 2 chillies)
Sugar as needed
Salt as needed
Coriander leaves as needed for garnish
Method Of Preparation -
In a heated pan, add oil and saute ginger and onion until onion is translucent. Add in the chopped carrot and capsicum. Add a few drops of water, cover and let the vegetables cook.
In a separate bowl, whisk in the pureed pumpkin, coconut milk, vegetable broth, green chilli paste and sugar.
Once the vegetables are tender, pour the pumpkin mixture into the pan and let the whole mixture cook through.
Sprinkle salt, and adjust the flavors.
