Tips:

  • For the smoothest bisque, use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until it is silky smooth.
  • If you don't have smoked gouda cheese, you can substitute another type of hard cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan.
  • To make the bisque ahead of time, prepare the soup according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until it is warmed through.
  • Serve the bisque with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche, and a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley.
  • For a more flavorful bisque, use homemade chicken or vegetable broth instead of store-bought broth.

This pumpkin and smoked gouda bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The combination of pumpkin, smoked gouda, and spices creates a creamy and flavorful soup that is sure to please everyone at your table.
