Simple Pumpkin Carrot Soup

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 2 pounds pumpkin
• 1 pound carrots
• 1 onion
• 4 cloves garlic (peeled)
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   First, peel your pumpkin and carrots. Cut your pumpkin into about 1 inch thick cubes. For your carrots, you will want to cut them to about 1/4 of an inch thick. Roughly chop your garlic and onion into smaller pieces.

2. 2

   In a large pan over high heat add your oil, onions and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes and stir occasionally. Add the pumpkin and carrots to the pan and mix. Add all your salt, pepper and stock. Mix it well. Cover with a lid and cook for about 8 minutes or until your pumpkin is tender.

3. 3

   Now with the aid of a stick blender, you want to completely puree the vegetables. Add the heavy cream and cook for another 5 minutes so it can thicken. Serve and enjoy.
