That sounds lovely, Lea Alissa! I should definitely give that a whirl. Do you think it would work with other winter squash? We don’t have pumpkin on hand, but our CSA did deliver some other gourds.

Hi,
I am a Filipina and we cook a lot of food with coconut milk. you could also make vegetable saute with coconut milk. saute garlic and onion, add string beans (cut into 2 inch lengths), add pumpkin (cubed in large chunks), add the coconut milk, and then the swamp cabbage. it works with bitter gourd also, and okra. It’s not really a soup, but more of a vegetable saute with sauce. the coconut milk will thicken from the pumpkin (which will get smushed around the edges as it cooks, it’s the smushed bits that thickens the sauce) alternatively you could add cornstarch. :)

Hope you feel better Becky! I’m afraid of getting sick, it seems everyone is around me! That soup looks fantastic.

That does look like a wonderful get well soup–I’m sending healthy thoughts your way! Anything with eggplant, garlic, and lemongrass is definitely a recipe for health!
