¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika, optional
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Ingredients

1.2 kg / 2.4 lb pumpkin (any type) OR butternut squash, before peeling and removing seeds
1 onion , sliced (white, brown, yellow)
2 garlic cloves , peeled whole
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth/stock , low sodium

Salt and pepper

  2. Place the pumpkin, onion, garlic, broth and water in a pot – liquid won't quite cover all the pumpkin. Bring to a boil, uncovered, then reduce heat and let simmer rapidly until pumpkin is tender (check with butter knife) – about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and use a stick blender to blend until smooth (Note 3 for blender).
  4. Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir through cream (never boil soup after adding cream, cream will split).
  5. Ladle soup into bowls, drizzle over a bit of cream, sprinkle with pepper and parsley if desired. Serve with crusty bread!
