• Add browned Pumpkin and Sweet Potato.
• Add chicken stock and bring to boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are cooked (approx 20 - 25 minutes).
• Cool slightly and then blend or puree soup.
• Return soup to pot.
• Add Light Evaporated Milk (or Coconut Cream if using) and season to taste with Salt and Pepper. Reheat until desired temperature is reached.
• Top with sour cream or yoghurt if desired and serve with roll.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss sweet potato with 1/4 tablespoon warm sunflower oil for 2 minutes to give it color. Add pumpkin and toss for 30 seconds. Add to carrots and roast until all vegetables are softened and the color has intensified, about 40 minutes.
• While vegetables are roasting, heat remaining 1/4 tablespoon sunflower oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Stir in cumin, turmeric, and harissa; cook for 1 minute.
• Remove vegetables from the oven and add to the pot. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

• Puree the soup with an immersion blender, if available. If not pour solids into a regular blender and puree. Return to pot and thin with milk. Only add enough milk until soup reaches desired consistency.
• When ready to serve, ladle soup into serving bowls. Swirl in a tablespoon of cream or coconut milk into each bowl. Sprinkle a pinch of fresh minced cilantro or minced scallion on top.
