Overall, I thought this soup was pretty good. It's a bit different from other pumpkin soups I've had, but it's still very tasty.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as good as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I had a hard time finding some of the ingredients for this soup. I think it would be easier to make if the recipe used more common ingredients.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices.

This soup is a true taste of the Caribbean! The flavors are bold and complex, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. I especially love the addition of coconut milk, which gives the soup a rich and creamy texture.
