Introduction

The BEST pumpkin soup I've ever had. Absolutely no cream in it, however it has the smoothest and creamiest texture ever, and is very very filling. Perfect for those cold nights!

*You can substitute pumpkin with butternut squash if need be!*

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until soft. Add garlic and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
