DESCRIPTION:

To me soup season is all year round and now with it being pumpkin season, it’s a great way to use pumpkin to create a light and creamy Thai Curry soup. This soup incorporates light coconut milk, pumpkin, vegetables, beans and Thai green curry spice. Using pumpkin adds a rich texture and a whole host of nutritional benefits. I hope you will give this delicious soup a try and enjoy it as much as I do.
