Transfer the potatoes to a blender. Add the buttermilk and process until smooth.

In a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the margarine. Stir in the potato mixture, pumpkin and peanut butter; mix until smooth. Stir in the stock, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg; cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
