Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add garlic and diced onion. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release its flavor. Add cubed pumpkin and stir to coat well.
Pour in the coconut milk, water, and add the bouillon cube. Simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the pumpkin is soft and tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until creamy and smooth. (Or transfer to a blender in batches if preferred.) Leave a few chunks if you like texture.
Spoon into bowls and top with chopped coriander and sliced Thai chili (I use jinda). Serve hot and enjoy!
