              • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
              • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
              • Using a sharp knife, cut the pumpkin and clean out the seeds.
              • Cut the pumpkin into large pieces/chunks and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
              • Clean and cut the onion and place it on the baking sheet.
              • Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the baking sheet.
              • Drizzle with olive oil, reserving a little for later, and season with salt and pepper.
              • Bake for about 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender when pierced with a tip of a sharp knife.
              • Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool.
              • Remove the peel from the pumpkin flesh and discard.
              • In a Dutch oven, heat the reserved oil and add the vegetables. Saute slightly.
              • Pour in the stock and stir to combine.
              • Bring to a boil, uncovered, and reduce the heat to a simmer, about 20 minutes.
              • Remove from the heat and very carefully transfer the mixture to the blender, working in batches. Be sure to cover the lid with a kitchen towel for safety. You can also use an immersion blender and keep everything in the stockpot instead.

              • Heat the soup over low and stir in the cream, do not boil.
