Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
5. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and blend the flavors.
8. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
