Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup Bowl

This liquid heaven for me on a chilly day can turn up as a warm and creamy bowl of Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup. It is rich and comforting yet so easy, even with flat-simple ingredients that you probably have around the house. It’s one of those recipes that really looks high-end but takes you under an hour to create.
What is Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup Bowl All About?
This velvety soup consists of a puree of pumpkin blended with coconut milk, together with various spices of curry, which convey comfort and caprice altogether. The pumpkin part lends a naturally sweet foundation, while the coconut milk adds a touch of creaminess to round off the mild heat from the curry powder. Hearty enough for dinner but delicate enough for lunch.
