Spray a large saucepan with vegetable cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add in butter. When melted, saute onion and garlic for about 6 minutes.
Stir in canned pumpkin, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Stir in fat free half and half until incorporated. Add in canned crabmeat. Heat on low for about 5 minutes until flavors blend well. You can use an immersion blender if you want to which will make the soup creamy and smooth. If using, sprinkle croutons on top at serving time.
This makes about 8 servings. Each 1 -1/2 cup serving is 2 Freestyle Points. Enjoy! (Croutons not included in figuring the points value)
