Ingredients

• 400 grams pumpkin puree
• 1 medium onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 500 milliliters vegetable broth
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the pumpkin puree to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy.

Step 7

Return the blended soup to the pot if necessary. Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently on low for 2 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, or croutons if desired.
