Prepare ingredients. Roughly chop onion (finely chopped if not using blender); peel and roughly chop pumpkin until you have 5 cups worth; mince garlic; finely grate ginger; finely chop lemongrass; thinly slice chilli (if using).<\/p>\n<p>2. Heat oil in a large pot on medium heat. Cook onions with a pinch of salt for 4\u20135 minutes, stirring often, until soft.<\/p>\n<p>3. Add remaining ingredients to pot. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20\u201325 minutes until pumpkin is very soft.<\/p>\n<p>4. Remove soup from heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Blend to a smooth soup using a hand-held blender. Alternatively, use a whisk to break the pumpkin up and whisk for 1\u20132 minutes until well combined. Add more water if necessary, if soup is too thick. Season to taste.<\/p>\n<p>5. To serve, divide Thai pumpkin and coconut soup between bowls and enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Nutritional Info (per serve)<br \/><\/em><\/strong>Energy (kJ): 822<br \/>Energy (Cal): 197<br \/>Carbohydrate (g): 17.0<br \/>Protein (g): 5.0<br \/>Fat (g): 11.0<br \/>Saturated Fat (g): 9.9<br \/>Sugars (g): 12.4<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.freshstartwithnadia.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to return back to Fresh Start Blog<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soups tick all the boxes for the changes of season\u200a\u2014\u200awarming, nutritious and easy to create!
