Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 medium red onion, diced, divided
2 teaspoons brown sugar
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 cups chicken broth, or to taste, divided
1 (13 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk (not low-fat)
2 tablespoons red curry paste, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 (2 pound) kabocha squash
1 large red bell pepper, diced
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced, or more to taste
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh basil, or more to taste
2 small serrano peppers, thinly sliced
3 medium limes, halved

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a soup pot over high heat. Add chicken to hot oil; cook, stirring occasionally until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/2 of the red onion and brown sugar. Cook until onions have softened and sugar starts to caramelize on the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Stir in black pepper, cumin, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss in ginger and garlic; stir until sizzling, about 1 minute.
  • Add 4 cups chicken broth and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil. Add coconut milk and curry paste. Add cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Stir in fish sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Carefully cut squash with a large knife on a cutting board. Remove seeds and peel and discard skin. Cut flesh into bite-sized pieces. You should have about 1 1/2 pounds squash.
  • Add squash to soup and salt to taste. Add remaining chicken broth to cover squash. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until pumpkin is just barely tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in remaining red onion, bell pepper, and green onions; cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, and stir in 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/4 cup basil. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with more cilantro, basil, green onions, and serrano chiles. Squeeze lime juice into each bowl.
