To start, heat a large pot over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent. Add the diced pumpkin, potatoes, and carrots and stir to combine. Add the spices and stir to coat the vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil.
