Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the cloves are soft.
In a pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions turn translucent.
Add chopped vegetables (carrot, celery) and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until they soften.
Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well.
Add cubed pumpkin and stir well.
Add 4 cups of water or vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 30-40 minutes, until the pumpkin is cooked and the soup thickens.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the soup.
Blend the soup with an immersion blender or transfer it to a blender and blend until smooth.
Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and serve hot.
