PUMPKIN PEAR BISQUE WITH CREME FRAICHE

Steps:
- Cook leeks and onion in hot margarine or butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until tender. Stir in flour. Carefully add chicken broth all at once. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in pumpkin, vanilla bean (if using), salt, pepper, and the 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Return to boiling. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Remove vanilla bean; discard. Add pear halves and pear liquid to pan.
- Process mixture in three or four batches in a food processor bowl or blender container until smooth. Return mixture to saucepan. Stir in light cream and vanilla extract, if using. Heat through, but do not boil.
- To serve, ladle soup into bowls. Top with a spoonful of Creme Fraiche; sprinkle with additional nutmeg, if desired.

[email protected]This soup was a total flop. The flavors didn't blend well together, and the texture was watery. I definitely won't be making this again.

[email protected]I found this bisque to be a bit bland. The flavors of pumpkin and pear were very subtle, and the creme fraiche didn't really add much flavor. I think it could have used a bit more seasoning.

[email protected]This bisque was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The texture was creamy and smooth, and the flavors of pumpkin and pear were definitely there. I might try making it again with less sugar next time.

[email protected]This bisque was a delightful blend of fall flavors. The pumpkin and pear complemented each other perfectly, and the creme fraiche added a touch of richness and creaminess. I especially enjoyed the subtle hint of spice from the nutmeg and cinnamon.
