Notes
Why is my pumpkin soup watery?
There could be a few reasons your pumpkin curry soup is watery. You could have added too much water to start. Or, you haven't let your soup simmer long enough to allow extra moisture to evaporate. Finally, soup thickens as it cools. So, don't worry too much. It will thicken up a bit.
How to make pumpkin soup sweeter?
If you feel like your coconut milk pumpkin curry soup isn't sweet enough, I recommend adding one tablespoon of maple syrup or brown sugar to it.
Storage Tips
- Fridge: In an airtight glass container, the soup will keep well for up to 5 days. (Glass helps preserve the taste and nutrients better than plastic.)
- Freezer: I don't recommend freezing this soup as I have never had luck freezing coconut milk or cream. If you want to meal prep this soup, then I would make it without the coconut cream. Then, add the coconut cream when you heat up the soup to eat.
