  4. Turn off heat, add nutmeg and a sprinkling of salt and pepper
  5. Let cool at least a few minutes.
  6. Pour soup into a blender, in batches if necessary, and carefully purée.
  7. Return to pan, add cream, and, over medium-low heat, reheat gently, stirring occasionally.
  8. When soup is hot, adjust seasoning, and serve.
