An autumn holiday would not be complete without pumpkins. We carve faces into them, tour pumpkin patches, search for the The Great Pumpkin, drink pumpkin spice lattes, and make pumpkin rolls and pies. At Elohee, we love the nutrients found in the pumpkin and cook with it as often as we can when it is in season, One of our favorite soups is Thai Pumpkin Curry Soup that Elohee chef, Craig King, pours his love into and warms us with on these cooler evenings. This soup is a warming, extravaganza for your taste buds.
