  • 1 Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 4 cups Pumpkin Puree (not pie filling!)
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup Pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted

Step-by-Step Instructions:
