Had some chopped pumpkin pieces from the previous winter. They came in a handy for a rich and colorful soup. They had been sitting in the freezer from last winter. Just didn’t have the urge to use same. It was quite convenient You see, all was needed was to defrost my bright pumpkin pieces. While I was at it, I grabbed some fresh coconut milk.
