In reply to Kristy. Hi Kristy - I think you cld def get away with the shallot. And I think coconut milk could be a good substitute. I've not tried it myself, so wld love to hear back from you how it turns out, if you try it. Happy Thanksgiving, hope you love the bisque!

I am a newbie to your site. Was nust googling pumpkin maple soup and this recipe came up. Couple of days ago my husband took me to a quaint french cafe and i ordered the pumpkin bisque, well i only got to enjoy 2 spoonfuls since my husband ate it all! I decided to make it for Thanksgiving this year since i am hosting.
I have 2 concerns.
1 is i do not have red onion but i do have a shallot..think it will sub fine?
2: half my guests are vegan. So i will make 2 versions 1 with cream and the vegan version i might try canned coconut milk.? Thoughts or sub ideas would be greatly appreciated.

In reply to Nancy. I'm so glad to hear it Nancy. I love this recipe too. I hosted a party last week and 'cheated' because I was short on time and got Trader Joe's pumpkin bisque in a jar. (For the record, I did have another homemade soup.:)) But the jarred pumpkin bisque didn't hold a candle to this recipe. The texture, and especially the maple syrup were missing. The jarred bisque was sweetened with honey. Good, but not amazing.

oh my goodness! This is AMAZING! The flavor, the texture , everything is over the top perfection. Having trouble not making it everyday, but it truly is a treat.

Oh my is this ever delicious! My mom and I enjoyed a hot cup of bisque for lunch today—it really brightened our spirits on a cold, rainy day.
Thanks much for the recipe–a keeper for sure!

Hi Leslie – this makes me happy. I think I’ve made it three times now too, I have some in the refrigerator. Susan sent me a pic. of you all enjoying this soup on your weekend away.:) Thanks for representing me so well, ha ha. I’m glad it was a hit. Also glad to know it worked with butternut squash. I wondered about that. Or even a combination of squash and pumpkin for a “harvest” soup. Hard to go wrong with maple syrup. I thought of you at King Arthur a few weeks ago. XO

Allie,

I have made this soup 3 times now. The first time was for a group of 10- scary when you try it the first time for friends but I trusted you and it was a success! Everyone raved over it and there was not a drop left. The second time I had 2 large butternut squash that I used instead of the pumpkin and my son said it was great! I think the pumpkin is better but he had not yet tried the pumpkin. Now I am making it for an autumn feast at work. Ill let you know how it turns out!

Thanks for a great new soup to add to my menu this fall!

I love the color of this soup. I’ll bet it tastes amazing! There’s nothing better than a great bowl of soup on a chilly fall day!

Oh how I miss fall in New England…I’m sure you enjoyed your trip over to Vermont for a day. Your bisque sounds very flavorful. Thanks for the tip about it being better if made a day ahead.

I dunno why ,but I wanna make some of those pumpkin spice sugared pecans and enjoy them with this decadent bisque! I found myself the recipient of one of those ginormous pumpkin patch pumpkins Allie and, like you, I didn’t want to cut into it so I baked the whole thing! Now I have containers of baked fresh pumpkin taking over my fridge and I mightn’t just have to use some of that instead of the canned pumpkin you used to make this. But when that’s gone then it’s awesome that I can use canned pumpkin to recreate this! This looks wonderful -so dreamy so creamy! Hoping all’s well with you and your family sweet friend!
