Ingredients
- 400 g pumpkin puree
- 500 g carrots
- 1 medium onion
- 3 clove garlic cloves
- 900 ml vegetable or chicken broth
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 0.13 tsp nutmeg
Steps
- Peel and chop the carrots into 2 cm pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

- Add the chopped carrots and stir well to coat with oil. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and add the pumpkin puree. Stir until well combined.
