    Instructions

    Step1

    Preheat to 200°C (392°F). Arrange the chopped pumpkin, carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly

    Step2

    Roast in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

    Step3

    Transfer the roasted vegetables to a saucepan. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

    Step4

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add additional stock to reach the desired consistency

    Step5

    Stir in the thickened cream and heat gently without boiling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

    Step6

    Pour the soup into a bowl. Swirl extra cream on top and garnish with pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs. Serve hot.

    Tips and Substitutions

    • Add a pinch of curry powder or ground cumin during the simmering step for a spiced version
    • Replace thickened cream with coconut cream or a plant-based alternative.
    • Incorporate sweet potatoes or parsnips for added sweetness and depth.
