Thai Pumpkin Soup image

This one came in a Dutch -language "health magazine" called ZIN IN MEER (really just a trumped-up advertising folder) that I received in the mail last week and it was so unusual that I had to try it out immediately. My family loved it. The name of the magazine translates loosely into "Liking/Desire for More", by the way, and I know I'm already craving more of this flavorful, and very attractive fall soup.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but this soup was actually really good. The coconut milk and curry paste give it a really nice flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin. It's also very healthy and filling.

This soup was a big disappointment. The flavors just didn't come together for me.

This soup is amazing! So easy to make and packed with flavor. I added a little extra curry paste for a bit of a kick.
