Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil along with 1/2 tablespoon of salt and a small amount of pepper. Add the peeled and finely chopped leek stems, diced potatoes, and sauté, stirring constantly, over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and diced pumpkin and tomato. Continue to sauté for 10 minutes until the vegetables are golden.

Step 2

Pour coconut milk and 1 liter of water (or enough to cover all the contents completely) into the saucepan. Crush the lemongrass and add it to the soup. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes until the pumpkin is thoroughly softened. Remove the lemongrass.

Step 3

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup. Return the saucepan to the heat and warm it up again. Ladle the soup into bowls.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the chopped chili with the cooked and peeled shrimp, chopped chives, and minced cilantro leaves. Place a portion of the shrimp with chili and herbs in the center of each bowl.
