Pour in the broth and coconut milk. Bring the liquid to a boil, then partially cover the pot and simmer until the pumpkin is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Add peanut butter, rice vinegar and coconut sugar. Slowly stir until the peanut butter is mostly smooth. Taste the soup (get a little butternut squash and a little liquid). If you want a bit more spicy, add more red curry paste and/or another pinch of chili.
