    🔪 Instructions

    This is a very simple, quick and easy curried pumpkin soup recipe that you can make in less than half an hour.

    Combine all the ingredients except salt and pepper in a large pot. Stir until the coconut milk has softened, bring to a simmer, then simmer for 15 - 20 minutes more.

    Check the seasoning and add a little more curry paste if you'd like it spicier. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Then serve warm in small shooter glasses! Garnish away to your heart's content using the ideas below, or try some of these other Soup Topping Ideas.

    🔁 Possible Variations

    This recipe makes a drinkable curried pumpkin soup, perfect for serving as soup shots. If you prefer a thicker soup, simply add another can of pumpkin purée.

    Have fun with different soup toppings. Try any of the following:

    • snipped chives
    • toasted sage leaves
    • chopped peanuts
    • pumpkin seeds
    • chopped cilantro leaves
    • lime quarters
    • sliced green onions

    ❓Reader's Questions

    Is this curried pumpkin soup spicy?

    It's as spicy as you'd like it to be. Start with a tablespoon of Thai red curry paste and add more as you taste it. I liked it with three tablespoons, you might like to add more.

    Do I use the water in the can of coconut milk or only the hardened part?

    Give the can a good shake to help the contents mix together before adding it to your soup pot. You'll use both the hardened coconut milk and the coconut water.

    How do you toast sage leaves?

    Heat a teaspoon or two of olive oil over medium low heat. Add the sage leaves in a single layer. Heat until they start to brown on one side, then use tongs to flip them over. Toast the other side for a minute or so, then remove to paper towel to drain. They will be brown and crisp.
