Stir in bay leaf, chicken broth, pumpkin & salt & pepper, bring to boil & then reduce heatto low and simmer for approx. 30 min.
Discard bay leaf and allow to sit ohh heat for a few minutes to cool. Puree in batches in a fodd processor or puree in pot using a hand held puree - er ( is that a word? that's what I use). Stir in cayenne & cream until heated, taste for salt, pepper & cayenne.
All systems go, this is a very warming dish on a cold and wet night, I serve it with either crusty bread or a cheese & ham pann thumbs ini
