Thai Style Pumpkin Soup
A spicy, creamy soup perfect for the cold weather!
Serving: 6
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut pumpkin
- 1 Medium sweet potato
- 2 carrots
- 6 small (or 4 medium) potatoes
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed (or 2 teaspoons minced garlic)
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 litre chicken stock
- 1x 270ml can coconut cream
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Fresh coriander, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1) Turn slow cooker on HIGH and add onion, garlic and curry paste to bowl, mix well
- 2) While slow cooker is warming up, peel and chop pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots and potatoes and add to bowl
- 3) Pour over chicken stock and stir (note - vegetables should NOT be covered by stock as vegetables will cook down. Adding too much stock will result in a thin soup)
- 4) Cook on high for about 4 hours or until vegetables are well cooked
- 5) Add coconut cream and blend with a stick mixer
- 6) Taste and add salt/pepper/more curry paste as needed
- 7) Serve with fresh chopped coriander (optional)
Notes
- NOTES:
- - For a thicker soup, only add 750ml of stock
- - You can also use coconut milk instead of cream, however the tins are usually 400ml so the soup will be thinner
- - Curry pastes can vary in heat, so if you are unsure how hot yours is, add one tablespoon of paste at the start and taste test before serving. You can always add more at the end to make it as spicy as you like
- Cooked in a 6L Russell Hobbs slow cooker

I made this today for tomorrow nights dinner but it tastes so good I can’t wait
This soup is the yummiest, it has a great flavour and I found it to be thick enough using the whole 1 litre of chicken stock….hubby loved it!!! ?
Has anyone tried this after also adding lemongrass stalk and/or kaffir lime leaves during the cooking? If ou have tried either orb both please let me know your opinions. Thankyou
Made this the other week and it was beautiful. Best pumpkin soup ever
Family fave. We love spicy thai, so we add red chilli to our pumpkin soup to give it extra zing! Great budget meal too!
Made this today, it was very nice, will be making it again next time will add a little more curry paste. Thanks for the recipe ?
This would have to be my favourite pumpkin soup recipe. I love the mild spice from the Thai red curry paste and coconut cream and also the fact it’s not overpowering. Delicious this is a regular for me now and always have stock in my freezer for a quick and healthy yummy lunch.
Very nice soup with great flavours
I have made this a few times now and it’s absolutely delish
Lovely flavoured soup, great flavours. Will definitely make again
Made this one yesterday, exchanged the red curry paste to a Laksa paste (as that was what had on hand) I did add a tea spoon of nutmeg, tumeric and cumin, and a good grind of pepper, everything else was as per the recipe. It turned out so beautifully. The thickness consistency was spot on with 1lt of stock and 1) 400ml coconut cream can. Huge hit, an excellent winter warmer. 🙂
I made this recently I only used 1 Tablespoon instead of the 2 as it had just enough bite. It was nice and thick using the 1 litre stock. My husband solved it too.
l won’t say loved by all BUT my pickiest water (18 yo boy) did say it was the best soup l.have made him eat over the last 4 weeks.
Leftovers for next week and was so nice l didn’t share with my MIL.
We have soup once a week.
Make this for winter and it’s eaten by all even my fussy little eaters very yum and warming this cold nights highly recommend.
Made the recipe just as it shows and I wouldn’t change a thing. Not too spicy, full of flavour and a thick soup that makes a great meal on its own. Just served this with some sourdough that I had put some butter mixed with herbs on and grilled. Delicious 😋
Very yummy soup with lovely flavours!
And easy to prepare, I just cut everything up and threw it all in together although I left the coconut cream to the end when blending. Highly recommend!
Have made this soup. Our favourite!
If I could give this 10⭐️I would. Omg it was the most delicious soup I’ve ever tasted in my life. Husband LOVED it too.
I didn’t have any potatoes and a smaller amount of pumpkin so I adjusted the other ingredients accordingly.
Next time I need to make heaps more and keep some in the freezer.
Now that’s a great review!!
Thanks so much for being one of the few who take the time to leave feedback for others – I appreciate you! 🙂
Thud is our family fav this time of year. Just a little bit of bite in it. Always with crunchy bread. Usually come back for seconds
😋😋
Thanks for the amazing feedback Christine!
Omg, this is soo good, I love it
Can’t wait to try it in my house for the first time tonight Cathy 🙂
Can I substitute chicken with vegetable stock for the vegans in my life?
Absolutely Ros 🙂
