Thai Pumpkin Soup

I found this recipe on the Closet Cooking blog. I made this last night and it is officially the easiest and quickest soup I have ever made. I personally love just about anything Thai and I love pumpkin so I was really interested in this flavor combo. The spice actually works really well with the pumpkin.

Pumpkin has many great health benefits too (bonus). Pumpkin is high in fiber and rich in anti-oxidants, minerals and vitamins. Pumpkin is recommended by dietitians in cholesterol controlling and weight reduction programs.

This soup would definitely warm you up on a cool fall day.
