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

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

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

Remove from heat. Stir in cream and a pinch each of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 5
While soup finishes, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter in a small skillet over medium heat until foaming.
