Ingredients

• 1.5 kilograms pumpkin
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 medium carrots
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 loaf crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the pumpkin into 2-inch pieces. Peel and roughly chop the onion, garlic, and carrots.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped carrots and pumpkin to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the oil.

Step 4

Pour the vegetable or chicken stock into the pot. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup in the pot until it is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and use a blender to puree in batches.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with crusty bread on the side if desired.
