Easy Pumpkin Laksa Soup
"My friend, Ginny, calls this her "Thai-soupie thingo" - it's another soup when you are hungry and pushed for time. You can use chicken which is already cooked, otherwise fry raw chicken breasts in the usual manner. The preparation time is based on chicken already cooked."

Yummy and easy....what could be better! Loved the heat from the curry paste. My biggest challenge was finding a can of pumpkin soup! Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT6 Zingo by an Unruly Under the Influence. -
The soup Doctor is in! I think this recipe could "fix up" any canned soup. My husband recently asked me to stock up on canned soups so he'd have them to eat while I worked evenings. Now, he doesn't really like them (surprise! surprise!) and wants me to "fix them." I'll be sure to use this method often. Made for ZWT #6 - ZINGO. -
This was a quick, easy to prepare soup, with great Thai flavors. This was enjoyed by myself and my aunt for lunch yesterday and again today when I shared leftovers for lunch with a friend. I bought seasoned, pre-cooked chicken breasts from Trader Joe's to save on time and had to substitute butternut squash soup for pumpkin as pumpkin is not in season here. Also, I used a package of red curry paste from Taste of Thai and I think it yielded closer to 3 Tb, which was fine. I made the soup in my Dutch oven. Thanks for posting. This was enjoyed.

Practically effortless to make; especially if you have leftover chicken. I used butternut squash bisque for the pumpkin soup, but that's all I changed. For how easy this is, it's very good. Thanx! -
Made a few changes while cutting the recipe in half, but they amounted to almost nothing ~ Cut back on the curry paste a bit & used both a homemade chicken stock & a simple homemade soup in place of the canned soup! We liked the use of the curry (but not too much!) & coconut milk that went into making this TASTY SOUP! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Let's Get Souped Up! Tag Game]

Okay -- it is quite interesting to have to talk about one"s self -- and so hard to be humble::))
I was born in Australia. I am one of 9 kids -- actually right in the middle which makes me the most interesting and cool as well as the one who has "it all together"::)) - or at least I think so!
Now that I am retired, I love to cook. No more do I get home around 8.30 at night and think -- Oh hell, I have to cook dinner.
I belong to the most amazing family. My Mum -- who passed away in July 2008 at the ripe old age of 90 always used to say -- "keep the family together" -- and we do. It is so easy to pick up the phone and tell my siblings I love them.
I am lucky that a lot of my friends are great cooks, so we often swap recipes. I am exceedingly jealous of those who are 'natural' cooks and don't need a recipe. I am the opposite.
Besides cooking, I like the theatre, music, gardening, trying to paint -- another thing that doesn't come naturally -- and meeting people.
My DH was born in America and together we have two toy poodles -- Elliott & Connery -- a cat named NUC (passed away March 2009) -- four chickens and a few koy fish.
DH is GRADUALLY taking an interest in my vegetable garden - one can only live in hope::))
