Estimated reading time: 5 minutes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Thermomix 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.

I can’t tell you how popular the recipe is in our house over the winter. Nobody even minds that I don’t make Thai curry paste from scratch for the soup. It’s just one of those warming dishes that is so easy to make, and even easier to eat!

You will notice there aren’t really a lot of ingredients in this recipe, so as long as you have pumpkin and curry paste, you can probably pull this recipe together. The real winning quality, other than the taste, is the only washing up is the one TM Bowl. All the preparation, cooking and blending is completed in the bowl leaving your kitchen free from washing up and mess.

What to Serve with the Soup

Every soup has some traditional serving partners, these will all team perfectly with this soup, but you can also try a few not-so-traditional dippers or additions.

• Crusty bread
• Buttered toast
• Steamed vegetables such as green beans
• Add some noodles to the soup

Variations for Thai Pumpkin Soup

If you would like to make the dish more filling I’ve given some delicious variations which will turn this soup from an entree into a main meal.

Thai Chicken & Pumpkin Soup

Roasting some 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

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. slice the chicken into strips.
6. Garnish the soup with the regular recipe toppings and include an equal amount of cooked chicken on top of the soup also.

Thai Prawn & Pumpkin Soup

1. When the soup is almost cooked heat a frying pan with oil.
2. Add peeled green prawns, leaving the tail intact.
3. Fry the prawns until they change colour then remove from the frying pan immediately.
4. Garnish the soup with the regular topping and include an equal number of prawns on the top.

Loaded Thai Tofu & Pumpkin Soup

If you were preparing this dish for a vegetarian and wanted to make it more of a main meal you could fry off some tofu and add it to the top of the soup with the regular garnishes.

1. Whilst the soup is cooking heat a frying pan with oil.
2. Add cubed tofu to the pan and fry each side.
3. Once the tofu is golden remove from the frying pan.
4. Garnish the soup with the regular topping and the fried tofu.

Soup Ingredient Notes

I have listed the brands I use in this recipe because there may be a little variation in flavour if a substitute brand is used. I do not receive any affiliate commission, advertising or sponsorship from these brands.

If you would like to make your own Thai Curry Paste take a look at this recipe for Nam Prik Pao. This is an easy curry paste to make in the Thermomix and it stores well in the fridge.

I also have a few Asian Curry paste recipes in my Cookbook “An Asian Banquet” including a Laksa Paste. Any of those recipes would be perfect for this pumpkin soup if you had leftover paste.

An Indian ThermoKitchen Cookbook

This book was a product of my trip to India. I went in search of recipes for all my favourite dishes. You will notice that my travel is always been dictated by my belly! To get a taste of what is really served at mealtimes in India I stayed in all styles of accommodation. I even stayed in a homestay where I learned to cook with the mother of the house. The result of this trip was a collection of 28 recipes. The book is available as a hardcopy or eBook.
