Instructions

Roast the Pumpkin - optional:

For more flavor, mix the cubed pumpkin with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, arrange on a baking sheet, and roast for 30 minutes at 400 degrees F.

Make the Soup:

Add all the ingredients from the SOUP section, except the heavy cream, to the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the cream, and use a potato masher to puree the pumpkin.
Taste and adjust for salt, pepper, and other seasonings. If the soup is too thick add more warm cream or warm broth.
Use a blender or an immersion blender to cream the soup as much as you like.
Serve garnished with cream, cilantro, and pepita seeds.
