Ingredients

1.2 kg Pumpkin any type, OR butternut squash, unpeeled weight

1 Onion sliced (white, brown, yellow)

2 cloves Garlic peeled whole

3 cups Vegetable Or Chicken Broth/stock low sodium

1 cup Water

Salt And Pepper

Finishes:

0.5 - 0.75 cup Cream half and half or milk

Equipment

Stick blender

Ladle

Instructions

Cut the pumpkin into 3cm / 2.25" slices. Cut the skin off and scrape seeds out (video is helpful). Cut into 4cm / 1.5" chunks.

Place the pumpkin, onion, garlic, broth and water in a pot - liquid won't quite cover all the pumpkin. Bring to a boil, uncovered, then reduce heat and let simmer rapidly until pumpkin is tender (check with butter knife) - about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and use a stick blender to blend until smooth (Note 3 for blender).

Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir through cream (never boil soup after adding cream, cream will split).

Ladle soup into bowls, drizzle over a bit of cream, sprinkle with pepper and parsley if desired. Serve with crusty bread!
