Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped

- 1 medium-sized yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 small-sized pumpkin, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

6. Return the blended soup back to the pot with the remaining stock water. Stir well to combine.
7. Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium heat. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
8. Remove the soup from heat and ladle into bowls.
