Pumpkin and Apple Soup

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

2. 2

   Add the peeled and chopped pumpkin and apples to the pot, and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften.

3. 3

   Pour in the vegetable stock, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.

4. 4

   Stir in the ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Allow the soup to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin and apples are completely soft.

6. 6

   Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender to puree.

7. 7

   Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little more vegetable stock or water to reach your desired consistency.

8. 8

   Serve the soup hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds for added texture and flavor.
