- 4 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock)

- ¼ tsp salt (to taste)

Instructions
- Add the onions to the hot oil in a pot, and sautè for a few minutes over medium high heat until they start to become translucent.
- Add your choice of pumpkin. I used baked, fresh pumpkin. Cook for a few minutes, then add the stock.
- Next, put potatoes into the pot. Stir and bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer about 20 minutes. The soup is ready when the potatoes are soft.
- Use an immersion blender to purée the soup (or put into a blender, but be careful as hot liquid can splash out). Process until the soup is a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Optional: Add the milk, if using. Ladle into bowls and serve hot with some crusty bread or savory scones. You can add a little cream and swirl it in for a pretty presentation.
- Or you can make dots of cream in a circle, in the bowl, then use a toothpick to drag through them in one constant direction to form a ring of hearts. Thicker cream works better than runny cream.

Notes
- Note: this recipe uses baked pumpkin, but feel free to use chunks of fresh or frozen, raw pumpkin if you desire.
- Remember, measurements are not critical in this recipe. Adjust to your liking (less liquid, or more vegetables for a thicker soup, more stock for a lighter soup).
- Nutrition facts are calculated with both milk and cream.
