Simple Pumpkin Soup

Made this on the first practical of hospitality, wasn't the best but it was nice. I like my mum's pumpkin soup better, has a kick to it and she uses leek, so you could edit this and add in leak also lemon thyme would be great. But hey it's pretty damn awesome during winter.

Ingredients:

200g - Peeled Pumpkin
60g - Sliced Brown Onions
1/2 - Peeled & Crushed Garlic
25g - Butter
300ml - Chicken Stock
50ml - Cream
Salt & Pepper

Method-

Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, then add your garlic and onions, sweat them until onions are transparent. Toss the pumpkin into the saucepan and cook for about a minute. Add in the chicken stock and simmer until the pumpkin is cooked or soft enough. Once the pumpkin has cooked puree' the mixture with a hand blender until it is smoothe and no big lumps of pumpkins are left. Add the cream and blend once more.

~Serve hot.
