  2. Stir in garlic, ginger, and red curry paste. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add pumpkin puree, coconut milk, vegetable broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup for a smooth texture, or leave it slightly chunky if preferred.

  • Adjust curry paste to control the spice level.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
