This was an incredibly thin soup which surprised me given the amount of veg included (and I weighed mine post chopping)! I think the coconut milk combined with broth was the culprit.

My baby (7m/o) and my toddler kept asking for more. Had a little too much garam masala for my taste maybe, but I'll put in a little less next time. I added salt and pepper to my serve and it was perfect. The best part was it only took 30mins. Just FYI the ginger instruction is missing, but assume it goes in with the onion and garlic :)
Stephanie says:
Sorry, when do you add the ginger?
Kate - Boob to Food says:
Sorry about that! It goes in step one with the onion and garlic
Kate - Boob to Food says:
How interesting! This recipe doesn't actually have coconut milk in it? Maybe that was the error?

Apologies this was a comment for the pumpkin soup recipe, not pumpkin and sweet potato - my mistake!
