IN THE POT | THAI CHICKEN AND PUMPKIN SOUP
I love a good Thai curry and this soup is just that, only with pumpkin. HUBBY made this dish for our family and it was delicious. It’s a great combination of flavours and the abundance of pumpkin makes you feel all virtuous and shit because it’s so much vegetable.
I served this with boiled rice in the bottom of the bowl just because I’m a big fan of rice and I love a good sere of soupy rice.
It was perfect for a winters night and I’m totally going to be hitting HUBBY up to make it again. The Little Man even liked it.
