Wash, peel and deseed the pumpkin and chop into small pieces
In a wide based wok or frying pan heat the oil and butter on a medium low heat and quickly toss in the garlic before the butter begins to burn. Fry the garlic for about a minute.
Add the sliced onions and fry till they turn pale/translucent. Remove onto a plate.
To the same pan add a little butter if required and fry the pumpkin pieces till they soften. This could take a few minutes. Then add the stock or water in which the soup cubes have been dissolved and bring to a boil.
Check seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. When the pumpkin pieces are really tender, remove pan from heat and let it cool for a bit.
Add the fried garlic and onions and blend the mixture to a fine purée.
Serve into a soup bowl, garnish with fresh cream, freshly ground pepper, croutons and a fresh sprig of basil or coriander.

Instead of stock you can use warm water in which 2 soup cubes have been dissolved
