Huge amounts of flavour in this Thai style Pumpkin and Coconut Soup. Made with pumpkin, sweet potato and thai yellow curry paste this is a winning combination. The divine spoon (with my name on it) in the photo was given to me by my beautiful cousin, Olivia, on her wedding day. Such a lovely gift idea. If you look closely you can see me (the photographer) reflected in the spoon 🙂
