Step 1
Pour broth into a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, ~4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in pumpkin puree and heavy cream until smooth. Lower heat to medium, simmer 6 minutes.
Step 3
Working in batches if needed, blend soup until completely silky using an immersion blender or transfer to a food processor.
Step 4
In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low. Add sage leaves, cook until fragrant and butter browns, ~2 minutes.
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).
Step 6
Finish with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
