This fusion of flavors combines the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with the warm, aromatic spices of curry. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Jacques Pépin have popularized this dish, adding their own unique twists. Today, this soup can be found in upscale restaurants and cozy bistros across the world.
