Ingredients

The ingredients are:

  • 1 large carrot (peeled and chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 leek (white part only and washed really well)
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 medium pears, peeled cored and chopped
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 litre vegetable stock
  • 1 cup heavy (35%) whipping cream
  • 2-3 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Melt the butter in a soup pot over medium heat and saute carrots, garlic, leeks until the garlic is fragrant and the leeks are wilted. About 4 minutes. Then add in the celery and the pears and saute for another 3 minutes stirring.

  • Step 2: Stir in the pumpkin puree and the spices, simmer about 5 minutes. Here is where I use the immersion blender sometimes.

  • Step 3: Add in the stock and bring back to a simmer. Stir in the cream and start with 2 cups of the milk. If you find it too thick add in more milk, add in the salt and pepper and bring back to a simmer. Taste and adjust the seasonings. You can always carve out a pumpkin and use that as a soup tureen.
