Spicy pumpkin broth recipe
This warming autumnal soup has a zingy, spicy flavour from Thai red curry paste and ginger, with cooling coconut milk for balance. Try serving it up as part of a Bonfire night or Halloween feast. If you can't find pumpkin you can use the same weight of butternut squash instead.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Make the soup, then leave to cool at room temperature. Freeze (without garnishes or toppings) in a rigid container, leaving a bit of space for expansion, for up to 1-3 months. Reheat either from frozen or defrost in the fridge overnight. Once piping hot, add toppings or garnishes and serve.
