SILKY COCONUT-PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet, or on a charcoal or gas grill, dry-roast or grill the shallots, turning occasionally until softened and blackened.
• Peel, cut the shallots lengthwise in half, and set aside.
• Clean the seeds from the pumpkin or butternut squash; cut into small 1/2-inch cubes- you should have about 4 1/2 to 5 cups cubed pumpkin.
• Place the coconut milk, broth, pumpkin cubes, shallots and coriander leaves in a large pot and bring to a boil; add the salt and simmer over medium heat until the pumpkin is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the fish sauce and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Taste for salt and add a little more fish sauce if you so desire.
• At this point, you can serve immediately or let the flavor develop by letting stand for up to an hour, then reheat just before serving.
• Grind black pepper generously over each serving and garnish with a sprinkling of green onions, if you like.
• Leftovers freeze very well.

• Bake in the preheated oven until soft, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Peel the sweet potato and squash when cool enough to handle. Transfer to a large saucepan; add carrots, onions, nutmeg, cumin, coriander, ginger, salt, and pepper.
