Quick and easy Thai Pumpkin Soup with Shrimp (Prawn) recipe. The pumpkin adds that pinch of sweetness required to get a perfectly balanced Thai soup.

Thai Pumpkin Soup with Shrimp (Prawn)

This month is entirely dedicated to Pumpkin!

We are going to have a pumpkin blast this month, trying various recipes from around the world and cook pumpkin in not so traditional ways. Still crazy yum!

Today we are heading to Thailand to try an amazing Thai Pumpkin Soup with Shrimp (Prawn)!

What comes first to your mind when you think of Thai food?

Spicy 🙂 right?!  Fresh herbs like cilantro (coriander), lemongrass, mint, basil?

The most amazing balance of spicy, sour, sweet, salty and bitter?

Thai Pumpkin Soup

Well, I wanted to combine all these incredible Thai flavors and PUMPKIN in an ultra comforting, not so spicy, seasonal soup – Red Thai Pumpkin and Shrimp (Prawn) Soup. I know, most of you will expect a curried, creamy soup but not this time. I am stepping out of my creamy soup zone and I am so happy I did it! I absolutely loved the still crunchy texture of these pumpkin cubes!

How to make Thai Pumpkin Soup?

Usually, the most difficult part when making an exotic dish is finding the right, authentic ingredients. This recipe is incredible easy and quick to make. You’ll be able to find all ingredients as Thai Red Curry, coconut milk at any local supermarket, in the Asian section. No need to make a lengthy trip to an Asian supermarket.

Apart from the Red Thai Curry paste, all ingredients are really easy to find, everyday seasonal staple pantry items:

  • Pumpkin
  • Coconut milk
  • Onions
  • Chicken stock
  • Tomatoes
  • Fresh herbs

You will have this Thai Pumpkin Soup ready to serve in just 30 minutes!

    Ooooh… this sounds wonderful! I’m guessing that the shrimp can be optional, right?

      Thank you! Yes, you can use chicken if you prefer it or you can keep it meat free, adding different vegetables

    I bet the coconut and Thai curry with the pumpkin is awesome in this dish! I love the sweet and spicy thing it has going on. Even better is that it’s a 30 minute meal!

    I adore pumpkin soup and the spicier it is the better. It has such a brilliant flavour but I love the colour too and it’s just perfect for this time of year.
