  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Finishing Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup light coconut milk
  • 12 Tablespoons honey

  6. Add Milk, Honey, and Crushed Red Pepper: Whisk in the light coconut milk and honey to add creaminess and a touch of sweetness. Add crushed red pepper if you like a bit of heat. Cook the soup until it’s warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy the comforting and flavorful pumpkin curry soup!
