Place a chopping board on a countertop, then use a sharp knife to remove the pumpkin's skin. Cut pumpkin in half, deseed, then cut into ½-inch pieces.Roughly chop the potatoes, onions, and garlic on your chopping board. On a hard flat elevated surface, plug in your crockpot and set up as per your appliance instructions.
Next, scoop the chopped vegetables, vegetable stock, and spices into the crockpot but withhold the cream.
Cook your soup on a high setting for 4 hours or low setting for approximately 8 hours.Turn off your crockpot when all the vegetables are cooked through. Add fresh cream, and then blend your soup using a handheld stick blender.
Serve hot and enjoy.
- You can adjust the consistency of the soup to your liking by turning the crockpot on without a lid to make it thicker or adding more cream to thin out the soup. Keep in mind that soup tends to thicken as it cools.
- Pumpkin soup freezes extremely well. To freeze, pour into an airtight container, and store in a freezer for up to 2 - 3 months.
