Spicy Pumpkin Soup

 I think this is from Southern Living.  It is very warming on a cold day.

1 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T. butter, melted
2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. coriander
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
2 cups half and half (or whole milk)
16 oz pumpkin puree
8 oz. canned chopped tomatoes (or Rotel)

Saute onion and garlic in 2 qt. saucepan. Add broth and spices; bring to boil.  Cover, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.  Combine half and half (or milk) and pumpkin; mix well. Stir tomatoes and pumpkin mixture into broth. Stir until heated through. Do not boil.
