Creamy Spicy Pumpkin Bisque

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.
