Ingredients

• 500 grams pumpkin
• 400 grams potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the pumpkin and potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the cubed pumpkin and potatoes to the pot and toss to coat in the oil and butter mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are completely tender.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup in the pot until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, let the soup cool slightly and carefully blend in batches in a standard blender.

Step 8

Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup is hot but not boiling.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
