I‘m eager to welcome in soup season! Soup or bisques are perfect for crowds, making them fabulous for fall entertaining! This pumpkin bisque recipe in pumpkin shells is my new favorite way to enjoy a night with friends and family.
Growing up in a creative family, I have grown accustomed to thinking outside the box – especially for food and entertaining. My Mom created projects for craft/wedding/entertaining magazines and coming home from school to tablescapes scattered throughout the house was a common occurrence. Clearly, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. My older brother is also a food blogger so when the three of us are together, we’re always in the kitchen reinventing new ways to serve up delicious recipes.
We were recently tweaking our favorite pumpkin bisque recipe for the fall holiday season and talking about how we loved sipping on fruity drinks right out of the fruit (like a pineapple). Then it hit us, serve this pumpkin bisque down in mini pumpkins. I’ve always loved setting a mini pumpkin at each place setting so this new twist was perfect. Thus, these little pumpkin shells were born. They would be fitting for more than just bisque, however! Try dips, salsa, desserts, anything!

Thank you SO much Tori!
That is a gorgeous bisque! Serving it in those adorable pumpkins is inspired. I’m not sure how I’d handle it if my mom and sister were also in food and recipe development.. we’re all so different, I think we’d make each other crazy!
Thanks so much! Yes, it certainly makes for a crazy foodie-family time when we’re all together :)
Okay, how did I miss that you and David were siblings? Very cool! And this pumpkin bisque is absolutely gorgeous…presentation and all.
Thank you! Yes, I dragged him to “the other side” to join us a couple of years ago ;)
