Pumpkin Soup

1/2 large or 1 small onion, chopped
3 T. butter
3 c. chicken broth, divided
2 c. pumpkin (pure, canned, not pie filling)
1 t. salt
1 T. sugar
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. pepper
1/2 c. half & half

Saute onions in butter until soft. Put 1 c. broth in blender with onions along with all ingredients except half & half. Transfer to small pot on stove top. Add remaining 2 c. broth. Heat thoroughly. Add half & half soon before serving. Heat, serve!

My thoughts:
This recipe is one of the easiest I have. It was also given to me by Marta, my SIL. It is SO quick, it is ridiculous. It is a tradition in my home to make it Halloween night every year with homemade bread and hot mulled cider.
