An all-time favourite soup with a smooth velvety texture and Thai-inspired flavours, this recipe has a serious YUM factor. Perfect for those winter months, the chilli adds a little warmth without being too spicy, while the coconut cream introduces an exotic twist to this classic winter comfort food. Kent or Japanese pumpkins work well because their colour and flavour is a lot more intense, but other varieties such as butternut also work well.
