Simple Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients
1/2 cup onion
3 tbsp. butter
2 cups mashed cooked pumpkin OR butternut squash
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup half & half*



Directions
  Chop the onions and gently brown with butter in a pan.  Put mashed pumpkin with onions in pan.  Add the salt, sugar, nutmeg and pepper.  I also add a bit of pepper and, if you like and extra kick, white a tiny bit of white pepper might not be a bad choice either.  Slowly add veggie broth while stirring until fully incorporated.  Heat thoroughly, but do not boil.  To serve, pour into a tureen and add the cream. Makes 4 to 6 small servings.
