Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Dice the onion into small pieces. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to turn golden, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in broth and pumpkin puree, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat. Stir in cream and a pinch each of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  5. Step 5

    While soup finishes, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter in a small skillet over medium heat until foaming.

  6. Step 6

    Add sage leaves and cook until they darken and smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  7. Step 7

    Ladle soup into bowls. Top each with crispy sage and a drizzle of the brown butter. Serve hot.
