Thai Pumpkin Soup

I found this recipe for Thai Pumpkin Soup on Taste and it was delicious, so I thought I would share. It's super dooper easy to make, and very tasty.




Ingredients (ammended to my tastes, the actual version is a lot spicier)
Butternut pumpkin (I use what ever we have in the fridge, normally a large half)
1 tablespoon of Red Curry paste
270ml can of Coconut Milk (I prefer milk to cream, as it was too rich when we tried it with cream)
500ml cold water


Method
1. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add pumpkin and curry paste. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture starts to stick to bottom of pan. Add coconut cream. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute
2. Add 2 cups cold water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until pumpkin has softened. Set aside for 5 minutes.
3. Blend or process soup in batches until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Top with coriander. Serve.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Now, before you saw "ewwwwwwww, I hate brussel sprouts", hear me out. Until last week I was one of you, I hated them with a passion. I refused to eat them, cook them, or even look at them in the grocers.

Last weekend, when doing the shopping, the husband requested I buy him some. Unfortuantly, I could only get a massive bag (a kilo I think). But he was cooking them with a mate on a campfire, so I couldn't complain. And then he came back with the bag of them. Crap. What am I going to do with them now?

Husband, being the lovely man he is, cooked dinner on Sunday night, and made us roasted sprouts, and I was impressed. They didnt smell like normal sprouts, and they sure as hell didnt taste like them.

Turns out, the trick is to coat them in oil, sprinkle 'All Purpose Seasoning', and bake for 45 minutes on a moderate heat (200 worked for me). Give it a go, it will suprise you.

Method:
Boil kettle and mix water with stock cubes.
Roughly dice chicken (or shred it, either way) and put into sauce pan with stock mixture. Add tinned corn. Stir

Put on medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat

Give a quick mix with the barmix stick, maybe a minute tops. Add shallots.

Voila, done. Worlds easiest meal. Pin It
