AUTUMN PUMPKIN BISQUE
This is a mild soup that I love to make near Thanksgiving--it's easy to make, filling, but not heavy. It takes well to added spices. From the November 2000 issue of "Bon Appetit", it can be made one day ahead. I usually make an easy pasta sauce with leftover crushed tomatoes.

AUTUMN BISQUE
This is a sweet yet mild flavored soup made from a wonderful array of Autumn vegetables and fruit that are first roasted, then puree'd, then simmered. The bread and sour cream accompanies this soup perfectly, giving it depth and heartiness. It's even better the next day. :)
