Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour broth and pumpkin puree into a medium pot. Stir until smooth and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. Step 2

    While soup simmers, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium-high until foaming.

  3. Step 3

    Add sage leaves to the butter and cook until edges curl and leaves turn golden brown, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove sage from heat, drain on a paper towel, and set aside. Reserve the brown butter in the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Stir cream, remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and nutmeg into the soup. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with brown butter, top with crispy sage, and serve immediately.
