Fall harvest soup

Once again, no pics. I was going to make an old recipe, then couldn't find an ingredient that was right in front of me, so I switched things up.
Next time, pics!!!
You need:
1 sweet onion
about 1 cup each diced apples and pears (don't worry about being exact)
2 TBSP butter
1/2 C. sweet white wine (I'm an alcoholic cook!)
1 can pumpkin puree
1 TBSP each ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon
1/2 tsp Vanilla bean paste (I am addicted to this stuff, its better than just vanilla. And I have 5 unopened bottles, so I'm trying to go through inventory)
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 TBSP honey
Broth as needed to thin out to your preference

In a soup pot, melt the butter. Meanwhile, peel and chop the onion. Place onion in butter. cook on low till onion browns. Add the apples and pears. Coat all with butter. Add wine. Simmer until apples and pears soft. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the onion, apple and pear into a blender or food processor. Add the pumpkin. Blend until smooth. You may need to use some of the cooking wine to thin it out. Return to the pan and mix well with the wine.add the spices, vanilla, and honey. mix well!!! (The honey will stick to the bottom of the pan at first). cook on low till serving time. If too thick, add broth.
