1. Prepare the produce
Peel and clean the pumpkin. Peel the onion and cut it into small pieces. If there’s any tough rind or skin, trim that away and dice it as well.
2. Sauté aromatics
In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onion and any trimmed rind with the spices and a splash of olive oil until softened and fragrant.
3. Chop the vegetables
Peel the potatoes, carrots, and turnip. Quarter the vegetables and give them a rinse to remove any dirt.
4. Cook the vegetables
Cut the quartered vegetables into smaller, even pieces. Add them to the pot and lightly brown them for a few minutes, then cover with water and stir in the bouillon cube. Add the bay leaves and whole cloves, bring to a simmer, and cook until the vegetables are tender.
5. Blend to a velvety soup
When the vegetables are fully cooked, remove the bay leaves and cloves, then puree the mixture with an immersion blender or in batches in a countertop blender until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.
