Kiribati pumpkin coconut soup, is a super easy to make delicious recipe, that can be served either hot or cold.  The ingredients are found easily on the islands of Kiribati.  One can not under estimate the importance of coconut to the people there. Pumpkin would likely be a calabash pumpkin however any pumpkin or even sweet potato works well. The flavors are both sweet and savory. This simple recipe is wonderful served as a starter or could be a light meal on its own.  Either way you are sure to enjoy the flavors of Kiribati.
