Thai vegan pumpkin soup recipe is hearty and comforting one pot soups that is light, satisfying and so delicious! Made with coconut milk it’s vegan and packed with big flavors!
For some reason (I’m guessing season change) my immune system is quite challenged. I’ve been literally sneezing, blowing my nose and rubbing my itchy face all day long. My head is pounding. Yes, allergies! And when my sinuses swell I feel I am near end of the world. Every season change the story is the same. The struggle is the same.
As an adult, being sick sucks. It is the worst feeling. All I want to do is lie in bed and sleep, but I just couldn’t. Unfinished work at home, kids to feed, it’s just not happening. A bowls of this Thai vegan pumpkin soup recipe did soothe my soul (to an extent).
Is it the season or the heavy ice creams and granitas I have been hogging like there is no tomorrow past few months, the reason behind my allergies! 😛 I still wonder!
Pumpkin Curry Soup
Thai pumpkin soup is thick, creamy, spicy, zing and slight sweet(from the pumpkin)all in one. And the color is gorgeous, isn’t it?! I used store bought Thai red paste(sauce) you can use homemade if you have it.

Just finished making this! It was so delicious!! I used chili paste I just had on hand and lime juice from a bottle… Think I went a little too heavy on the lime but can’t wait to make it again!
