Ingredients

• 1000 grams pumpkin (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 240 milliliters vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the edges start to soften and become slightly golden.

Step 3

Pour in the vegetable stock, then add the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Stir well, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender, blend the pumpkin mixture until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Step 6

Once smooth, stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or spices as desired.

Step 8

Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
