Pumpkin Bisque image

Pumpkin deserves a spot at the table beyond pie and the decorative gourd. With added texture from the toasted pumpkin seeds, this supremely autumnal dish is a perfect way to warm up from the chilly weather. Serve it as a lunch, a light supper or part of a larger, festive meal.
