The Method
Select the SAUTE function, add the oil and allow to heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli and stir regularly for ~3 minutes until the onion begins to soften.
Add the pumpkin, cinnamon and cumin and stir for a further 1 minute until everything is coated in the spices, then cancel the SAUTE function. To save time you can leave the sauté steps out, but we would recommend using this feature to maximise flavour.
Add the stock and cream and stir to combine, then put the lid on and select the SMOOTH function.
When the program has finished, open the lid and season to taste before serving.
