- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened.
- Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender, but be careful when blending hot liquids.

Notes
- Allow the soup to simmer gently. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together harmoniously and results in a richer, more complex taste.
