How to Make Thai Coconut Pumpkin Soup

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add shrimp, Thai chilies, and shrimp paste. Stir-fry for 1 minute until shrimp is lightly pink.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of water and bring to a boil.
  4. Add cubed pumpkin, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until pumpkin is tender.
  5. Stir in coconut milk and season with salt to taste.
  6. Bring back to a simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. Use an immersion blender (or carefully transfer in batches to a regular blender) to partially blend the soup until creamy but with some texture remaining.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh lime juice, basil leaves, and cilantro.
