Pumpkin and coconut shorba @ Indian Accent

This steaming bowl of coconut kaddu soup is just the ticket to shaking off a winter chill. The velvety creaminess of a coconut curry broth gives this warming, near-sweet blend heft and body, and a drizzle of basil-infused oil adds sheen and piquancy. The addition of coconut milk lends an Asian flavor to this rich winter bowl, and pumpkin makes an additional appearance in the form of three crisps that are perfect for swirling about the dregs of your soup. Simple but transcendent.
