Notes

  1. Pumpkin - use sugar pumpkin or other types of eating pumpkin. Jack-O-Lantern won't taste good in this soup. 
  2. No time to chop pumpkin? use canned pumpkin puree. Both homemade pumpkin puree. or canned stuff will work. 
  3. Thai Red Curry Paste - It's a vegan pumpkin soup, so you must use vegan Thai curry paste. If you don't care about vegan soup, feel free to use regular Thai red curry paste (most Thai curry paste has fish sauce or shrimp paste in it).
  4. Adjust amount of curry paste to be added to the soup to suit your taste buds. You can make it spicy as you want or mild as you prefer!
