Notes
- If you can’t find pumpkin, you can swap any hard winter squash, like butternut squash or acorn squash.
- Cool the curry to room temperature and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- This vegan curry recipe is also great to make ahead and freeze! Store the cooled soup in an airtight container, and wrap tightly in a layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
