How to cook deliciously - Pumpkin Bisque
1. Stage
Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven until it’s crisp. Remove it to paper towels with a slotted spoon to drain, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Saute the onion in the bacon drippings until it’s tender, then add the garlic and cook for a minute longer.
2. Stage
Stir in the broth, pumpkin, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then turn down the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Let the soup rest for a few minutes to cool slightly.
3. Stage
Process the soup in a blender, in small batches, until it’s smooth. Pour the soup back into the Dutch oven, and stir in the heavy cream, heating through. Once the soup has returned to serving temperature, add the Gouda cheese, stirring until it melts. Portion the soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of parsley, bacon and additional cheese, as desired.
