Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Delicious. Very good and authentic tasting. I used light coconut milk to keep the calories down (the full fat stuff is delicious but too fattening for me). I did cut the fish sauce down a little, just under 2 tbsp, maybe like 1 1/2. I was afraid it would be too strong otherwise. Instead of slicing the ginger I grated it as I really love ginger flavor mixed with coconut milk.

This was a very easy soup to prepare, and my dinner guests loved it! Went great with an Asian main dish and salad. Also did not take long to cook and I made it while we enjoyed potstickers. Would def do again.
