Pumpkin soup with coconut milk is a great start to supper. Especially when it is a cold winter night. Butternut pumpkins are plenty during autumn and winter. Great way to have a light meal. I love the golden hue it has. You may even add sour cream if you are not vegan. You can increase the flavor by adding sour cream to the soup.
If you do not have it at home, no worries. Just serve it with some herbs like rosemary, parsley or cilantro. It is a great way of having pumpkins which otherwise might not be relished by picky kids.
