  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan or in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds. Add the cajun seasoning, red pepper and cayenne pepper and cook 30 seconds more.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree and the chicken broth. Stir until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
