Pumpkin Soup with Peanut, Kaffir Lime + Chicken


  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 3 tablespoons finely sliced kaffir lime leaves (68 leaves)
  • 2cm piece ginger, finely diced
  • 1 lemongrass stem, bruised
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, rice malt syrup or honey
  • 1 large pumpkin (about 800g), cut into cubes
  • 500ml / 2 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 270ml coconut cream
  • 1 fresh chilli, thinly sliced (optional)
  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 12 cups leftover roast chicken, shredded
  • fresh coriander to serve

Instructions

In a large casserole pot over medium heat, add the peanut oil then the kaffir lime leaves, ginger, lemongrass and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.  Add the soy sauce, sweetener and pumpkin and stir to coat the pumpkin in sauce.  Turn up the heat to medium-high and add in the stock, coconut cream, chilli and peanut butter.  Cook this for 10-12 minutes until the pumpkin is just tender, but still holding it’s shape.  Stir through the chicken until warmed through, then take off heat and serve garnished with coriander.

Notes

If you cant get fresh kaffir lime leaves from your markets, I used these Valcom Lime Leaves Kaffir.
