For a richer flavor, roast the pumpkin before adding it to the soup. Toss the diced pumpkin with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
If you don't have fresh lemongrass, you can use 1 teaspoon of lemongrass paste.
To make this soup vegan, substitute vegetable broth for chicken stock and ensure your butter is plant-based.
For a spicier kick, use bird's eye chilies or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    So easy to make and absolutely delicious! I added a squeeze of lime juice at the end for a bit of brightness.

    I loved the little kick from the chilies. I used bird's eye chilies and it was perfect!
