Autumn Pumpkin Bisque image

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.
