Lime juice, optional, for squeezing into the soup bowls before serving

Place the onion and garlic into the mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
Add the olive oil and sauté 3 min/100°C/speed 1 without the measuring cup.
Add the pumpkin and chop for 5 sec/speed 7. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
Add the vegetable stock, red curry paste, lemongrass paste and grated ginger and cook for 15 min/100°C/speed 1. Use the simmering basket on top of the lid to prevent splatter. Check the pumpkin is soft; if not, cook for another few minutes.

Notes
Storage: Store the soup (covered) in the fridge for up to three days. It will thicken upon refrigerating but thin out once warmed through.Freezer: Allow it to cool down thoroughly, then transfer it to a freezer container or ziplock bag. Thaw the soup in the fridge, then heat it on the stove. Add a little water if the soup is too thick.
