Only as spicy as you want it to be, with a lovely zing of lime, this soup is good on every level. Next time I’ll double the recipe so we have leftovers for lunch.
Spicy
Peanut Pumpkin Soup
Adapted from Yewande
Komolafe in The New York Times
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive
oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed1
(1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and chopped
1/2 habanero (or other
hot pepper of your choice, or hot sauce to taste)
1 (14-ounce) can pumpkin
puree
3 cups vegetable stock
1 (13-ounce) can coconut
milk
1/4 cup unsweetened
natural peanut butter
1/3 cup peanuts,
toasted
1/3 cup pumpkin
seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked
paprika         
1 teaspoon
coriander
Salt to taste
Lime juice to taste
Directions
In a stock pot,
heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring often,
until softened and just beginning to brown around the edges, about 10 minutes. 
Stir in the
habanero (or other pepper or hot sauce) and pumpkin. Whisk in the stock. Bring
to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If you don’t care for much spice, remove the habanero after the soup simmers. 
While the soup simmers, toast the pumpkin seeds and peanuts in a small skillet.
Serve with toasted pumpkins seeds, peanuts, and a squirt or drizzle of lime juice.

Take time to curl up
with a trio of cozies – a drink, a treat, and a good book. May I suggest a bit
of armchair travel, too?  Visit Ocracoke Island, off
the coast of North Carolina, in the Haunted Shell Shop Mysteries.
Or travel to the Scottish
Highlands in the Highland Bookshop Mysteries.
Spend time in northeast Tennessee in the Haunted Yarn Shop Mysteries, two stand-alone mysteries, and a collection of short stories.
Or travel from Cape Cod on the east coast to Monterey on the west coast, with a stop in Ohio along the way in my very gentle mysteries written as Margaret Welch.
Happy reading!
