SAVOR THE SEASON IN THE GORGE WITH PUMPKIN BISQUE AND CHESTNUTS By Registered Dietitian Sarah Harper This cozy autumnal recipe, ready in about an hour, transforms a can of pumpkin purée and cooked chestnuts into a rich, aromatic bisque. The buttery, slightly sweet chestnuts add a silky smoothness, delivering a velvety mouthfeel with every bite. Bay leaf, thyme, and sage contribute layers of savory and herbal notes. If you have the time, roasting your own sugar pumpkin, or even opting for butternut or acorn squash instead of canned pumpkin, can bring an extra layer of freshness and complexity to the recipe. This Pumpkin Bisque with Chestnuts recipe is an ideal addition to a festive meal or a light lunch on a cool autumn day. For additional texture and freshness garnish with roasted chestnuts, pepitas, and fresh parsley. A drizzle of coconut milk enhances the creaminess of the bisque. Pair it with crusty bread for dipping and savor every last drop.
