Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour broth into a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, ~4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in pumpkin puree and heavy cream until smooth. Lower heat to medium, simmer 6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Working in batches if needed, blend soup until completely silky using an immersion blender or transfer to a food processor.

  4. Step 4

    In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low. Add sage leaves, cook until fragrant and butter browns, ~2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Pour soup into bowls. Swirl 1 tablespoon crème fraîche into each, then drizzle with sage-brown butter (discard whole sage leaves or leave as garnish).

  6. Step 6

    Finish with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
