Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or margarine
  • 1 medium carrot finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 small garlic cloves minced (I use 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can pure pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 can carrot juice 12-15 ounces of carrot juice
  • 1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds optional but a nice touch

Instructions

  • Saute carrot and onion in oil 9-10 minutes, stirring as it softens and browns a little. Add garlic, cumin and cinnamon and cook 1 minute. 
  • Add broth, pumpkin and carrot juice and bring to a boil over the heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 15 minutes to blend the flavors. 
  • Sprinkle the roasted pumpkin seeds on top in each bowl when you serve it.
  • Note: 
  • To make carrot juice without a fruit juicer ( the easiest choice) you can blend 2 pounds of carrots with a little bit of water in the blender. Pour it into a container with half a liter of water and let stand for 30 minutes. Strain it, if desired, as pulp will form.
