- 250 ml heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

Step 1
Cut the pumpkin into quarters and remove the seeds. Peel and cube the pumpkin into roughly 2 cm pieces.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.

Stir in the heavy cream and add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Reheat the soup over low heat until it is hot, being careful not to let it boil.
