Simple Pumpkin Soup

RIt's called "simple" because it still tastes really good even without the spices....

1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1kg pumpkin (don't use butternut or grey pumpkin), peeled, diced
1 large potato, peeled, diced
1 liter chicken/vegetable stock
125ml thin cream

Serves 6.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened but not coloured. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add pumpkin, potato and stock and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then blend using a blender.

Return soup to pan and stir through cream. Reheat slightly and serve.
