Cream of Pumpkin Soup

Cream of pumpkin soup is a delicate seasonal soup made with pumpkin, potato and carrot, cream and nutmeg. The vegetables simmer in one pot together with sautéed onion and garlic, then get blended until velvety smooth. I recommend serving it with croutons - buon appetito!

Tips

• Add just enough water to barely cover the vegetables - that keeps the soup nice and thick.
• Adjust the seasoning to taste only after adding the cream.
• Cook everything in one pot - fewer dishes and a richer flavor.
