Cut top off pumpkin. With a large metal spoon, scrape seeds and stringy
fibers from interior. Replace top and place in center of cooking grate.
Grill until pumpkin flesh is very soft, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Remove
from grill and allow to cool. Scoop out the pulp with a spoon and reserve.
In a medium stockpot, melt the butter over low heat. Sweat the onions
in the butter for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until completely
reduced. Add the pumpkin pulp and the chicken broth; stir well. Bring
to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in
the salt and heavy cream and return to a simmer. Season with salt and
pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired.
Makes 6 servings.
