This soup has an intriguing nutty taste. You can use pumpkin only or a mix of pumpkin, kumara or other vegetables such as carrot or parsnip if you have them.

Instructions

- Check seasoning and adjust to taste. Whether you need more salt will depend on the saltiness of your curry powder and peanut butter.
