I had this delicious Caribbean style pumpkin soup in great little restaurant in English Harbor - Antigua, numerous times during the years I spent sailing in the area. It was always one of the favorite dishes to order, as well as fried camembert with cranberry sauce, spicy tuna balls and so on. We loved it because it was so satisfying yet so clean and light. I don't think the soup is on menu anymore, but I'm pretty sure it goes like this … of course with few of my additions such as mustard seeds, cilantro as well as the method, and god knows what else, since i have actually never seen the original recipe. All of us who tasted the “Trappas” soup and the FloatingBistro variation, agreed on similarity, plus obligatory “but yours is way better” (thank you dear friends) 

Should serve 4 people, but i also saw with my very own eyes one person eat this amount, so … 

1 small onion

1 thumb ginger

fresh turmeric root (1 cm)

6 fresh lime leaves

fresh habanero chili (I leave this up to you) 

1 tsp mustard seeds (my addition)

bunch of cilantro stems, finely chopped (also my addition)

2 cups stock 

2 carrots, cleaned and halved

1 smaller piece of celeriac root

about 1 pound of curry pumpkin (you don't have to peel the skin off if you use this type, only half it and clean the seeds out, also don't worry too much about the amount, worst case the soup will be thicker) 

Melt spoon of ghee in a pot with mustard seeds, once they start to pop, add the other ingredients and cook until fragrant. Then add 2 cups of homemade chicken stock (or dissolve “better then bullion") and add next ingredients to the pot:

2 carrots, cleaned and halved

1 smaller piece of celeriac root

about 1 pound of curry pumpkin (you don't have to peel the skin off if you use this type, only half it and clean the seeds out, also don't worry too much about the amount, worst case the soup will be thicker) 

Cook all until soft, puree with stick-blender, add about 1 cup good quality coconut milk, you can add more if you think it is too thick.

Salt and pepper to taste, add juice from lime … 

Enjoy!
