Begin by heating a small amount of olive oil in a big pot on medium heat. Put the diced onion and garlic in the pan and cook them until they are tender and light brown. This ingredient will give your soup a richer taste.
Include the vegetables: Add the chopped pumpkin, carrots, and celery. Mix everything well so that the vegetables are covered in the onion and garlic mix. Let them cook a bit to enhance their flavors.
Simmer: Add vegetable stock until the vegetables are covered. Heat the mixture until it boils, then lower the heat and allow it to simmer. After around 20 minutes, the vegetables should be soft and prepared for the following step.
Mix perfectly: Use a hand blender to blend the soup directly in the pot, or transfer it to a blender to blend until smooth. Put the smooth mixture back in the pot if necessary.
Last Touches: Add salt and pepper to your soup. To make it even richer, you can add a bit of cream.
Add a decorative touch: Pour the soup into bowls and top it with a swirl of cream and fresh herbs. This creates a nice mix of colors and flavors.
