Notes
  • You can try adding twice the amount of curry powder and a little coriander.
  • This soup is fairly thick; consider adding more chicken broth if you like a thinner soup. You can also find versions without the milk added. And, of course, vegetable broth works just as well.
  • Cooling the soup well before blending improves safety, and it also prevents the plastic blender from absorbing the orange color of the pumpkin.
