When I think of autumn, I think of trees changing colour of their leaves from green to orange and red. I think about the weather getting colder and finding those sweaters again in my wardrobe closet. I think about cosy and warming food and this includes pumpkin recipes. My pumpkin soup fits perfectly with this autumn mood.
When cooking this soup first roast the pumpkin to get that intense pumpkin flavour. Then mix it with coconut milk and other ingredients to get that creamy taste. Gently heat it over the stove and your perfect autumn appetiser is ready.
Top this soup with thick coconut yoghurt and roasted pumpkin seeds. They pair wonderfully with the warm pumpkin soup.
