Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

4 cups chicken broth

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup carrots, sliced

1 cup celery, chopped

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Season them with salt, pepper, and half of the cumin, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

    Add Vegetables: Layer the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery evenly over the chicken.

      Incorporate Pumpkin: Pour the pumpkin puree over the top of the vegetables.

        Pour the Broth: Add the chicken broth to the crockpot, ensuring everything is submerged.

          Season the Soup: Sprinkle the remaining cumin, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the mixture. Stir gently to combine.

            Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

              Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the crockpot.

                Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese until fully blended and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

                  Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers for dipping!
