Add the flour, poultry seasoning, and hot sauce and cook for about a minute. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the pumpkin puree, spoonful after each addition. Simmer for 10 minutes, until the soup thickens, then add the cream and nutmeg. Reduce the heat, but leave it on high to keep the soup warm before serving.
