Warm and Soothing

My family loved this Thai-Style Pumpkin Soup. We have enjoyed Libby's Pumpkin Pie for years as well as pumpkin muffins. So, we decided to try the soup and the flavors in it were soooo soothing! Please try this, it is now a TOP list soup for us!.

Thai-Style Pumpkin Soup

We were very pleased not only with the unique taste, but how easy it was to make. The prep time was very low. We will definitely make this again, but will add more than 1/2 t red pepper flakes as we like it a little spicier..
