Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally until caramelized.
Add garlic, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger and stir until evenly combined.
Add the chicken stock, water, and pumpkin puree and stir to combine.

Pro Tips
Reserve some caramelized onions before blending to use as a flavorful topping for the soup.
Use an up-and-down motion while blending to ensure an even, smooth consistency.
Always tilt the blender blade away from your body while blending to prevent splashing.
Ensure the vents of the blender head remain fully submerged during the blending process.
