Pumpkin soup is a smooth yet hearty soup that is easy to make and uses some great seasonal produce that brings on a nice bold flavour. You’ll need a few essential ingredients, a little bit of time and, of course, pumpkin!

Instructions:

1. Bring the chicken stock, pumpkin, onions, garlic and salt and pepper to a rolling boil.
   
2. Once boiling, reduce heat to low to keep the ingredients simmering for about 30 minutes.
   
3. Once simmered, pour the soup into a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
   
4. Once smooth, return the soup to the previous pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
   
5. When the soup has come to a boil, reduce heat back to a simmer for about 20-25 minutes uncovered.
   
6. Slowly stir in heavy cream until well mixed. Once combined, your soup is ready to serve!
