This soup is delicious. I was leary about the coconut milk, but it isn't overpowering at all, just makes it a nice consistency. I added curry powder which made it much better to my taste buds. Will definitely make this again.
11/4/2011 12:29:43 PM Report AbuseWhat a delicious soup! I read the reviews first and added a bit of curry powder. My husband, who usually doesn't care for pumpkin, had seconds. We loved the fall flavors... this is the perfect soup for a crisp autumn evening. I can't wait to make this again.
