Put 75g of butter in a pan.
Add the carrots and leeks, peel, seed and chop the pumpkin, cut the potatoes into thin slices and add to the pan.
Cover with the milk and cook gently, stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook for 30 minutes.
Put through a vegetable mill or blend in a food processor.
Add the cream. Season with salt and pepper and serve with croutons.
