Pumpkin and Pear Bisque with Goat Cheese image

Fresh pumpkin and succulent pears are roasted together before being blended into a creamy bisque. From the caramelization that results with roasting veggies, these two perfect fall flavors deepen dramatically and make a savory soup with a sweet undertone.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (2 pound) pie pumpkin, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 pears - peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 slices bacon, diced
½ onion, diced
½ bulb fennel, diced
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 cups chicken broth
½ cup crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place pumpkin chunks on one side of a rimmed baking sheet. Place sliced pears on the other side. Drizzle with olive oil and mix around to coat.
  • Roast in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, until pumpkin is easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fry bacon in a large pot over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add onion and fennel; cook until onion is soft and clear, about 5 minutes. Add butter and garlic; season with cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Add pumpkin and pears. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken broth to cover all the vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Serve hot, with crumbled goat cheese on top.

This bisque is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I would have preferred it if it was a bit thinner.

I'm allergic to goat cheese. Do you think I could substitute another type of cheese?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out lumpy. I think I didn't blend it well enough.

This bisque is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it without the pears.

This pumpkin and pear bisque is a delightful fall soup. The flavors of the pumpkin and pear are perfectly balanced, and the goat cheese adds a creamy richness. I served it with a crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a chilly night.
