Thought I find a 19th century soup recipe with curry powder. This is one that has been updated.

Curried Pumpkin Soup

1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups of water
2 cups of pumpkin, pureed
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1teaspoon fresh grated ginger root
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup cream

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds for garnish.

Saute garlic in butter or oil in a soup pot over medium heat for a few minutes. Be careful not to let the garlic brown.

Add everything else except the cream. Bring to a boil. Salt and Pepper to taste.

Turn heat down, add cream.

Top with roasted pumpkinseeds and serve warm.

This is a great soup for a cold January day, like today in my neck of the woods.
 
We had this for supper today. Used canned pumpkin, substituted maple syrup for the sugar, and added chopped green chiles, a little chicken bullion, cumin seed, hing, and kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves) since we happened to have them. We had some (frozen) naan to go with it. Soup was great, I can't recommend the frozen naan. But I am too lazy to make naan. I suggest buying whatever flatbread you like best on the same day you make the soup.
