    So good! My kids who won’t eat pumpkin ask when I’m cooking it again!

    Is this spicy please? is it good for people who suffer from high blood pressure?

      Melita if you are watching your salt intake the stock and fish sauce would contain a fair amount. You could use salt reduced versions instead perhaps?
      I wouldn’t think 2 tsp of paste would be overly spicy no but I’ve not cooked it myself to be certain 🙂

    Sorry Melita I never got notified of your question if you see this it isn’t spicy at all my young children eat this with no problem it just gives it a lovely depth of flavour and just a little hint of chilli. As Paulene mentioned you can use salt reduced stock and fish sauce or if you want to you can leave the fish sauce completely out.

    Made this last night, it’s one of the nicest S/C pumpkin soup I have made, will be a regular winter warmer.

    Mildly Spicy! Very nice flavour & texture. Got my Thau fix the healthier way!

    Delicious and easy. As spicy as you wish to make it. I think you could do it with a laksa paste base as well. Give it a go … yum

    Really lovely soup! If you love spice I recommend adding a bit more curry paste ?

    I’m not a big pumpkin soup fan & usually just make it for my husband but this recipe was a really lovely alternative to my usual recipe. The thai red curry paste & coconut milk made it extra tasty & not too spicy with only a hint of heat. We all loved it!

    so yummy. I added extra Ginger and 1/2 to chilli paste to help get rid of a flu…. sooooo delicious. Everyone loves it.

    I make this soup all the time for my work lunchs. I add what other vegtables are in the fridge and extra spice if i feel like.

  13. Absolutely delicious and mild as well, great for little ones.
    I didn’t have any limes or parsley but tasted great without it ?

    Super simple to make. I add a some fresh chilli to spice it up a little. It’s our go to Saturday night meal.

      I’d probably go a standard 400ml tin Wendy

    Absolutely beautiful, I will definitely be making this again. I added a small head of Cauliflower as well as a leek.

    This was a lovely yummy soup. Perfect for a cold wintery day. I used only 1tsp of green curry paste as that is all I had and it had a nice gentle heat to it. Will definitely make again.
