How do I store this pumpkin curry soup?

This Thai pumpkin soup will keep in the fridge up to four days. Store in an airtight container or jar with a lid. Just make sure to let it cool completely before placing in the fridge.

Can I freeze this soup?

Yes, you can freeze this soup for up to three months. To do so, I recommend ladling the soup into individual 16-ounce containers so that you can pop the soup into the microwave whenever you’re ready to enjoy it. Just remember to let the soup cool completely before freezing it, because it’ll expand in the containers as it cools.

Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely! If you feel like making an extra large batch, don’t hesitate to make a double batch. You could even freeze it for future meals, if desired.

How do I reheat Thai Curry pumpkin soup?

Reheat in a large saucepan until steaming hot, while stirring often. Alternatively, heat individual servings in the microwave for 4 to 5 minutes until steaming hot.

Substitutions and Variations

Instead of canned pumpkin, feel free to use your own freshly made pumpkin puree.
Instead of Thai Curry paste try this with an Indian curry powder or use a blend of cumin, ginger and sea salt.
Add additional heat with Thai bird chilies or a pinch of red pepper flake.
Add in diced cooked chicken breast or tofu for a bit of protein.
Have fun with your garnishes: try roasted pumpkin seeds or pepitas, minced hot chilies, cilantro lime wedges or sliced green onions.
