Pumpkin is an ingredient that makes stellar soups, and we think this rich pumpkin bisque recipe is one of the best. Pumpkin simmers down to a silky texture all on its own, and combining it with rich cream and (surprisingly!) cheese makes it even better.<\/p>\n
This is a soup that comes together in just over 30 minutes, but it\u2019s rich and elegant enough for any meal.<\/p>\n
Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven until it\u2019s crisp. Remove it to paper towels with a slotted spoon to drain, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Saute the onion in the bacon drippings until it\u2019s tender, then add the garlic and cook for a minute longer.<\/p>\n Stir in the broth, pumpkin, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then turn down the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Let the soup rest for a few minutes to cool slightly.<\/p>\n Process the soup in a blender, in small batches, until it\u2019s smooth. Pour the soup back into the Dutch oven, and stir in the heavy cream, heating through. Once the soup has returned to serving temperature, add the Gouda cheese, stirring until it melts. Portion the soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of parsley, bacon and additional cheese, as desired.<\/p>\n Leftovers can be kept in the fridge, in a covered bowl or food-safe container with a tight-fitting lid, for four to five days.<\/p>\n Absolutely. The only issue is with the cheese, which can become stringy and separate after freezing and thawing. If you know ahead of time that you\u2019ll be freezing extra portions, your best bet is to set aside that part of the soup before you add the Gouda. If the soup is already finished, it\u2019s still not a deal-breaker. The soup will still taste good when reheated, though the texture of the cheese may be affected.<\/p>\n Sure! The difference between winter squash and pumpkin is more a matter of custom than science, as they both occur in the same four Cucurbita species. That 29-ounce can equals 3-1\/2 cups of mashed squash, and once the soup is pureed you\u2019ll never know the difference.<\/p>\n You can switch out the Gouda for any other cheese that melts well and has a similar subtle nuttiness. Havarti, Swiss and raclette are all excellent alternatives.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve already tried the alternatives suggested in the Variations above, there are lots of other toppings or garnishes you can use with this soup. Garlicky croutons work with or without the parsley and cheese, bringing a pleasant crunch and making the soup more filling. Fried leeks, sliced lengthwise into thin shreds, are a beautiful restaurant-style garnish (packaged fried onions are the supermarket equivalent). For a really elevated bowl of soup, top it with a few grilled shrimp or some lump crabmeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When the weather turns cold, this rich, silky-smooth pumpkin bisque will warm you from the inside out.
