Stir in the chicken stock, pumpkin puree, salt, and pepper.
Bring to the boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cream.
Using a handheld immersion blender, puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, use a tabletop blender and puree the soup in 2 – 3 batches. You don’t want to fill the blender more than halfway.
