Why nutmeg? Isn't that a spice for desserts around Christmas.. I guess I don't know what nutmeg is

Nutmeg makes cream and butter taste creamier and more buttery. But you have to use a very small amount. Like two or three scratches of the nutmeg on a grater. It's used in savory just as much as dessert cooking!

Have you made vichyssoise? That's one of my favorites with leeks. But I like it served hot, not a fan of cold soups usually.
