The first of my dishes from my Pick your Chef choice and this did not disappoint! I used thai coriander leaf rather than the usual coriander leaf as the former is a tad more intense. I had a lonely chilli pepper in the fridge so I went with this and it provides a very nice hot touch. However it may be too much for small children if you go the chilli route. There is a lot of ginger in this but it is balanced out very nicely by the coconut milk. Excellent pumpkin soup recipe!
