Homemade stock is more nutritious and flavorful.

Peel, slice, and wash the medium sized pumpkin.

In a pan, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Once the butter has melted and blended with the oil, add 1 large onion and fry until soft.

Add the pumpkin to the pan and mix well.

Pour in about 0.5 liters of vegetable stock, cover the pan, and bring to a boil.

Let the pumpkin cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until soft enough for a fork to go through.

While the pumpkin cooks, prepare the croutons by dicing 6 slices of toast bread and seasoning with olive oil, black pepper, salt, and a pinch of garlic powder.

Spread the seasoned bread on a baking sheet in one layer and bake until golden brown.

Once the pumpkin is cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add about 0.5 to 0.75 cups of heavy cream and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove the cooked pumpkin from heat and blend until smooth.

Serve the pumpkin soup in a bowl topped with croutons, a bit of heavy cream, and a herb of choice.
