Ingredients: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (1 turn of the pan) 1 medium onion, finely chopped 3 cups canned vegetable stock, found on soup aisle (I use a few cups of water and a few teaspoons of vegetarian chicken
base here) 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice (I blend it first so that it's not chunky, since a few family members don't like tomatoes) 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed 2 (15 ounce) cans
pumpkin puree (avoid buying Libby — it's owned by Nestle) 1 cup corn, frozen or canned (drain and rinse if canned) 1 cup heavy cream (I use 1 % milk, but you can use soy milk as well) 1 tablespoon
curry powder 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I don't add this since my kids don't do spicy foods) coarse salt 20 sprigs fresh chives, chopped or snipped, for garnish
The
base of this recipe is
pumpkin, coconut milk, almond butter,
curry powder and noodles, but you can easily make some swaps including:
Instead of throwing in chunks of
pumpkin or butternut squash, like most Thai
pumpkin curries do, I decided to use
pumpkin puree to add a silky thickness to the usual
base of coconut milk, red
curry paste, and ginger.
