Directions
Sauté the onion and garlic in the butter until they are soft and transparent. Add the pumpkin, stock, chilies, pepper, allspice, sugar, and sherry. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Place the mixture in a blender and purée until smooth. Return the soup to the pot; add the half-and-half and simmer until heated through. Garnish with nutmeg and serve.
