Good morning! How is your week going? I am excited because I saw my first Christmas commercial this week and on the radio they will begin playing Christmas music today! I know it is a little early but frankly I love it. The month of December is such a blur for me that I always feel like I “miss” Christmas, this way I can enjoy a part of it early.
I don’t know about you but in the fall soup is one of my favorite foods and if it is easy to make even better. I found this recipe for Thai coconut pumpkin soup on Pinterest boards and have since made it twice because it is so good and super easy.

NOW I know how I can use tumeric. I have some in my cupboard, I know it's good for you, and I tried it a few times in chicken dishes but did not like it. However, I think this is where it would go best, combined with pumpkin in soup! YES YES! Hello dearest Elizabeth! Loving the season?
I make pumpkin or squash soup all the time. It's easy to start with a base and then tweak it for different flavors. Sometimes I do classic French, with sauteed onions, then the squash, and finished with a filet of cream. Sometimes I do Thai with coconut milk and lemongrass, or Indian with curry. I am eager to try your recipe. Variety is the spice of life!
This looks positively yummy. I love anything pumpkin!
I haven't tried a soup like that.
Actually I've never tasted pumpkin soup. But this looks so delicious!
