Clean the vegetables and cut into bite-sized cubes. Cut the spring onions into rings. Finely chop the garlic.
Heat the oil in a large stock pot and fry the pumpkin in it. Then add the spring onion rings, the garlic, the remaining vegetables as well as the lemongrass, the ginger, the turmeric and the curry and sauté briefly.
Deglaze with the vegetable stock and coconut milk and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the soup over a low flame. Season to taste with sesame oil and soy sauce. If desired, season with a little sea salt and pepper from the mill.
When the pumpkin slowly crumbles and makes the soup creamy (*) and the remaining vegetables are still crispy, add the mongo bean sprouts and remove the soup from the stove. Remove the lemongrass stalk.
Sprinkle the soup with 1 tablespoon of peanuts per serving and serve.
It goes well with naan bread or chapatis.
(*) If the soup becomes too creamy, you can add a little more water.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
