Not my favorite
I used a sugar pie pumpkin from PCC and the soup just did not have enough flavor for my taste. I could only find a 5.5oz can of coconut milk (and did not want to use half of a 15oz can), so the reduction of coconut milk may have affected the flavor. More oil would help too. I bet if I used butternut squash, it would taste more full-bodied.

Adding brown sugar to pumpik coconut curry
I absolutely love this recipe, I served it several times since reading it! Last batch I made included some winter squash and was just a touch bitter so I added 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
