In reply to Courtney. Hi Courtney, you could use canned pumpkin instead! The flavor won't be quite the same, but it should still work. You may need a little more maple syrup, as canned pumpkin is often less sweet.

Can you make with canned pumpkin? I’d love to try but hard to find whole fresh pumpkins near me now so curious if the canned option may work?

I can’t find an amount for the maple syrup that you say to add to the soup before simmering. Can you clarify?

In reply to MJ. There is vegan red curry paste. I see it more at the grocery store than at the Asian markets.

Curious as to what you use for red curry paste. I’ve only used curry paste made with shrimp.
I thought vegans did not eat shrimp.

In reply to Shelley. Hi Shelley, I used a 400ml can, you could go with half if you wanted less coconut flavor (I personally really like coconut)l.

Hi
What size can of coconut milk do you use? I used a 400 ml can and it seemed like too much. All the flavour was lost. Do you use a 200 ml can?

Very good. I couldn’t find the recipe that I used a few years ago, but my wife thought this one was even better. I made the following changes:
– I used part of a large fairytale pumpkin that I had baked and pureed. I had extra pumpkin juice from cooking and straining the rest of the pumpkin, so I used that instead of vegetable broth. Some of the juice had caramelized when baking the pumpkin, so it added some sweet and caramel flavors.
– I omitted the maple syrup because the pumpkin was on the sweet side already.
– I added Thai fish sauce to taste, generally 2-4 tbsp for this size soup, to add additional umami.

When you put the pumpkin in the oven to soften it, what temperature should you set the oven to?

In reply to jeanine. Wow. Thank you SO much for getting back to me so quickly with these excellent tips! The soup is so delicious already. I will taste it again tomorrow to see if I actually need to put the tips to use. By the way, your website is so beautiful -- I visit it often. Thanks again!
