  • 1½ cups of cooked pumpkin (canned or fresh)

Instructions
  1. In a large stock pot, sauté onion and garlic in a little oil about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add in the carrots and sauté for another 5 minutes or so. Add pumpkin puree, spices, and vegetable broth; stir to mix.
  3. Cover and simmer on medium heat for about 20-30 minutes, until carrots are completely cooked through.
