Ingredients

• Pumpkin - 400 grams, peeled and diced
• Carrot - 100 grams, peeled and diced
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped

• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and diced carrot to the pot, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Stir in the diced pumpkin, vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
