Notes
Add some sweetness: This soup is delicious as is, but some like to add in a little sweetness which compliments the coconut curry flavor nicely. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, if needed.
How to store: Once the pumpkin curry soup has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
How to freeze: Carefully transfer cooled curry soup to a freezer-safe airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, transfer the soup to the fridge and let it thaw overnight.
How to reheat: Reheat leftover soup in the microwave in 30 second intervals until warmed through, on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warm, or in the crockpot according to the appliance’s instructions.
