• 2 Tbsp. red curry paste
• 1 (13 to 15 oz.) can coconut milk

Directions

1. If using fresh pumpkin; Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut pumpkin in half; remove seeds. Drizzle flesh with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place pumpkin up side down on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove flesh from skin, discarding skin.

Add in the pumpkin flesh and curry, and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and broth and simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Remove pot from heat and puree to desired texture using an immersion blender or in batches in a traditional blender. Serve garnished with green onion tops and sliced chile pepper, if desired.
