Pumpkin season in full swing, cooler weather is setting in, a cozy soup with fall flavors sounds good.   If you have never tried garam masala it is worth a try. You can make your own, although best using whole spices, toasting them and then grinding (a recipe here) and since I rarely have whole spices I buy mine already made. It is a rich hearty spice full of many layers of flavor.  And, since I am almost out, it is going on the grocery list along with coconut milk so I can make this soup.  Enjoy!
