1. Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut the flesh into cubes. Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces as well.

3. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes until translucent.
4. Add the butternut squash and potato cubes. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
5. Pour the vegetable stock into the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper and add a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
6. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
7. Remove from the heat, add the cream, and blend everything together using a hand blender until you obtain a smooth and creamy texture.

Ceercle tip: If your soup is too thick, add a little broth or water. If it is too thin, let it reduce for a few minutes over low heat.

Serve piping hot. For presentation, you can add a drizzle of cream, a few roasted pumpkin seeds, or homemade croutons.
