Nutty Pumpkin Bisque image

Hearty and comforting pumpkin soup is the perfect starter to a holiday meal or the star performer of an autumn luncheon. The pumpkin seeds and toasted pecans create a wonderful depth of flavor. This soup can be served immediately or made a day in advance and then reheated. -Lauri Knox, Pine, Colorado
