Steps

In a saucepan, cook onion, garlic, sage, thyme, and chili flakes in butter over medium heat until tender.
Add flour and cook 1-2 minutes. Stir in broth a little bit at a time until smooth. Simmer 1 minute.
Add pumpkin and heavy cream. Simmer uncovered until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
