Pumpkin Curry Soup

This Pumpkin Curry Soup is creamy, comforting, and full of warm spice. Made with savory sausage, Thai yellow curry paste, and coconut milk, it’s a hearty fall dish that comes together in under an hour. You can use either fresh homemade pumpkin purée or canned for convenience — both give the soup a silky texture and deep flavor.
