There’s not much that I like about the cold season..
I do like warming up with a bowl of hot soup on cold day, though! And it doesn’t get much better than a deliciously creamy coconut-ginger-pumpkin soup.
I’ve made this recipe for years now, but never even wrote down a recipe. I always just kind of improvised. It’s an easy recipe (no need to even peel the hokkaido pumpkin), so it always turned out pretty delicious. This last time I made it though, I wrote it down so I could share it with you. ;)
I hope you’ll like it!

Hi!
This recipe looks great! Can it be adapted to using canned organic pumpkin instead of chopping up a pumpkin?
Thanks so much!
Natalie :-)
Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Natalie! ;)
I haven’t tried substituting with canned pumpkin, but would give it a try! Sorry I can’t be of more help..
Have a fabulous remaining week!
