Creamy Thai Pumpkin Soup with Noodles
May 06, 2016
Noodle with Creamy Pumpkin Soup is a hearty creamy soup. An excellent winter warmer 'pick me up' kind of meal in a bowl.
Looking out at our little garden in the backyard.
I soon noticed that bitter gourd (bitter melon) plant is slowly wilting, turning brown. Only tiny little melons hanging by the thread, refusing to grow. My one and only chilli plant is almost barren. Lemons starts to turn colour into gorgeous yellow. My little herby Thai basil plant, slowly retreating.
It's time to tidy up and let the ground rest.
The temperature has started to dip.
I am surrounded by many shades of yellow, brown.... in every direction I look.
Perth has always been brown (especially in hot summer months) and crisp ;P.
Do you have that 'feeling', that once temperature starts to dip, your cravings for pumpkin starts to kick in?
I swear, my mind had been 'Pumpkin'programmed and it automatically switched on as mercury starts to dip ;P.
Then I longed for something savoury, hot and spicy! Followed by anything soup-y :D
Put all that cravings together, you'll ended up with awesome bowl of goodness!
One bowl kills many cravings ;P

A delicious combination! So comforting and flavorful.

Perth's not looking all that brown Lisa, given we've finally had rain ;) The perfect dish for the current weather, and I love the idea of combining the pumpkin with the noodles.
ReplyDeleteHi Tania,
DeleteGood to meet another Perth blogger. The recent rain did wonders to the parched ground :D
I crave creamy comforting pumpkin soup even when spring just arrives!! The noodle soup looks very tasty, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie :D.
DeleteThis looks wonderful - I love pumpkin with flavours like lemongrass and chilli! Although it's approaching summer where I am, coconut and spice are exactly the flavours I'm starting to crave right now :)
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie,
DeleteMe too, I cant resist anything with coconut milk and spice :D
Mmmm such a delectable sounding soup! I could quite happily eat that any day of the year :)
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
DeleteThank you :D. I am lucky to be able to get pumpkin all year round.
Lisa, this looks like a hug in a bowl!!!
ReplyDeleteIt has been cold the last few days hasn't it!!! We are south of Perth and experiencing chilly mornings, sunny days and rainy nights.
Still at least the water tanks are filling up!!! And after the summer we had (I thought it went on forever!!!!!) I am glad of cooler weather and I am definitely glad of bowls of comfort food!
This is beautiful! Can't wait to give it a go!!!!!
Hi Claire,
DeleteIt is a relief to have the change in weather... I too, thought we are heading for a long summer then skip autumn straight to winter. South of Perth is much colder than north, right?
I am so thrilled (doing happy dance) to have 'met' 2 Perth bloggers in my virtual kitchen.
