When the garlic is done, add in the broth and pumpkin and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Give the ingredients a good stir to combine and bring to a boil. Then cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes.

When soup is done, add in the heavy cream. You can serve as is for a more rustic dish or puree with an emulsion blender until everything is smooth.
