Over long weekends we seek to slow our busy lives and relax. Here at Appliances Online we are looking forward to long sleep-ins, days filled with slippers and sport, time with our family and friends and plenty of good food (such as the awesome Thai Pumpkin Soup Recipe below)!

To beat the winter chills there’s nothing better than a bowl of steaming hot soup. If you’ve been thinking that your cooktop is getting a little tired or grey around the ears for such tasks, now is the perfect time to refresh this vital area of your kitchen!   Our end of financial year sale is in full swing and features a range of cooktops.  Here are a few:

Thai Pumpkin Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2-3 tbs peanut oil (I used olive)
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic chopped
• 1 tsp of grated ginger (out of the jar)
• 2 – 4 tsp red thai curry paste
• 1kg pumpkin peeled and cubed
• 3 cups of chicken stock
• 1 x 150g can coconut cream
• lime juice
• coriander leaves for garnishing

Method:

Heat oil, add onion, garlic, ginger and curry paste and stir fry until
fragrant. Add pumpkin and chicken stock, boil and simmer for about 25
minutes.  Blend soup.  Add coconut cream and lime juice reheat and serve.

With the addition of prawns or chicken, this Thai Pumpkin Soup Recipe becomes a main meal in itself.

Be well, be safe and have a cracker of a weekend!
