Cooking Steps
- Season the shredded chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from heat, shred the chicken, and set aside.
- Peel and chop the fresh pumpkin and carrots into small, even-sized pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a large Dutch oven, combine chopped pumpkin, carrots, onion, and garlic. Pour in enough water or stock to cover the vegetables, about 4 cups. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, then return to the Dutch oven.
- Stir in olive oil, shredded chicken, Jacmel seasoning, and a splash of tomato paste. Heat on medium for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
- Pour in heavy cream, stirring gently until combined. If too thick, add extra water to reach desired consistency. Cook on high for another 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes to harmonize flavors. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately, pairing with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.

Notes
For the best flavors, use fresh ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings gradually to avoid overpowering sweetness.
