Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

cubed

sage
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 bay leaves

Method
1. Heat the olive oil in a large
skillet over medium-high heat. Add pumpkin and onion and saute until
lightly browned (you may have to do this in batches).
2. Transfer to slow cooker and pour
in enough chicken broth to cover the pumpkin. Tie all the herbs and
spices into a piece of cheesecloth and add to slow cooker. Cover and
cook on low for four hours.

and puree the soup with a blender. Stir in heavy cream. Ladle into
bowls and garnish with cinnamon and toasted pumpkin seeds.
