This Caribbean-style pumpkin soup is one of my favorite soups to make in the fall when squashes and pumpkins are most readily available. If you can’t find calabaza (West Indian pumpkin), use butternut squash, Japanese kabocha squash, or Cinderella pumpkin (a.k.a. Long Island cheese pumpkin). Serve this soup with a good crusty bread or a salad of hearty greens for an autumn lunch.
