Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg pumpkin
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 medium onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 liter vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: peel and deseed the pumpkin, then cut it into small cubes. Peel the carrots and slice them evenly. Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the diced pumpkin and sliced carrots to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
Sprinkle the ground cumin and ground cinnamon over the vegetables, and stir to coat them in the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 25 minutes or until the pumpkin and carrots are tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender and blend in batches.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and allow the soup to warm through for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
