Ingredients

10 whole cloves
2 whole star anise
1 stick cinnamon
2 whole allspice berries
5 whole black peppercorns
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, cut into 4 pieces
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 medium leek (white and pale green parts only), thoroughly washed and diced
3 (15-ounce) cans solid-pack pumpkin (not pie filling)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Instructions

Wrap the cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick, allspice berries, peppercorns, and fresh ginger in cheesecloth and secure with kitchen string.
In a large heavy pot over moderate heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and leeks and sauté until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the pumpkin, 2 quarts water, and the spice package and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer uncovered until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
Remove and discard the spice package. Working in small batches, ladle the soup into a blender and purée until smooth. Transfer to a clean large pot then sprinkle with nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve. DO AHEAD: Soup can be made in advance and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 3 days. Reheat in a large pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally.
