Steps:
- Cut the pumpkin into 3cm / 2.25" slices. Cut the skin off and scrape seeds out (video is helpful). Cut into 4cm / 1.5" chunks.
- Place the pumpkin, onion, garlic, broth and water in a pot - liquid won't quite cover all the pumpkin. Bring to a boil, uncovered, then reduce heat and let simmer rapidly until pumpkin is tender (check with butter knife) - about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and use a stick blender to blend until smooth (Note 3 for blender).
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir through cream (never boil soup after adding soup, cream will split).
- Ladle soup into bowls, drizzle over a bit of cream, sprinkle with pepper and parsley if desired. Serve with crusty bread!

Steps:
- Heat butter in a 4 quart saucepan. Saute onion for about 5 minutes or until tender. Add the pumpkin and bring to a simmer until you are ready to eat. (Note that if the soup is too thin, you can soak the bread in some more broth and when tender, add it to the soup) Season to taste with salt and pepper and a very fine touch of ground mace. Right before serving, remove the hot soup from the heat and add the cheese. (For company you can whisk in some heavy cream before serving or top the soup with sour cream). Garnish with snipped chives.

This soup is from pantry ingredients, saves wonderfully and is always a big hit, even for people who say- Gross! Pumpkin soup!

Steps:
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook chopped onions until soft and golden brown.
- Heat the broth in a good-sized pot, add pumpkin slowly, and bring to a partial boil.
- Stir in onions, milk, polenta, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, salt, and pepper (pressed garlic might be suitable at this time).
- Make sure that the ingredients do not clump but are spread throughout the soup.
- Cook for about 5 minutes or longer until all ingredients have been thoroughly mixed and dissolved and so the soup is thoroughly heated.
- If at this point it seems chunkier or thicker than desired; use an immersion blender or a regular one to liquefy the soup and blend in the onions.
- Serve warm with pieces of bread if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin. Sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins are ideal for pumpkin soup, as they have a sweet, flavorful flesh. Avoid using field pumpkins, as they are too watery and less flavorful.
- Roast the pumpkin before pureeing it. Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and intensifies its flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a high-quality broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good-quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real ingredients.
- Add some spices to taste. Pumpkin soup is a great canvas for spices. Try adding some ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or allspice. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Garnish your soup with something special. A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil can add a touch of elegance to your soup.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin, and it is also a healthy and nutritious meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious pumpkin soup that everyone will enjoy.
