directions

Step 1

Heat oil and butter over medium-low heat, in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add onion, ginger, garlic and stir, cooking until just softened and translucent, not browned. Add sherry, curry paste and stir until smooth, with no lumps remaining.

Step 2

Add pumpkin meat, broth and coconut milk and blend well, until completely smooth and integrated. If you own an immersion blender (hand wand) and want a super smooth soup, feel free to use it now, but it’s not necessary. Taste and adjust for seasoning – saltiness and spicy heat.

Step 3

Simmer on low for about 15 minutes. While piping hot, transfer to a tureen. Serve at the table and garnish each bowl with a swirl of coriander puree.

Step 4

Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and liquefy. Transfer to a squeeze bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
