Food Porn: Pumpkin, Coconut and Rum Soup

by Nicole Weston, Posted Jul 20th 2006 @ 4:02PM

When Melissa at The Traveler's Lunchbox said that eating hot soup during summer can cool you down, I had to think about the idea for a bit. I came around because (1) I realized that eating hot/spicy foods do seem to cool me down and (2) she offered some proof in a recipe from the hot-soup loving hot country of Jamaica. Her Pumpkin, Coconut and Rum Soup is intended to be served during the summer even though it is as hot as the weather. It features sweet and creamy pumpkin (butternut squash), rich coconut milk and a kick from both scotch bonnet peppers and a generous measure of rum - both of which serve to remind the diner that this recipe is completely Caribbean.
