Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, and low-sodium vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pot from heat and carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a traditional blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the fat-free half-and-half, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Return the pot to low heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to warm through.
Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh sage, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, creamy soup!
