This soup is a favorite with my guests. A few have told me even to forget the rest of the meal when you serve this, nothing can compete. Please, you be the judge.

What a comforting fall soup. This is a creamy and savory pumpkin curry soup recipe with a hint of nutmeg spice. The combination of seasonings complements each other very well. We loved the addition of toasted coconut on top. Finishes the soup nicely. This is so good!
