Wow -- I'm surprised this recipe doesn't have more reviews. It's crazy-good. We don't eat onions, so I just added more celery. Also stirred in a little curry and topped each bowl with chopped shrimp tossed in sesame oil to give the soup a burst of protein. If you use PB2 in place of the peanut butter, it's even low-fat! Will be making this again and again -- it's as easy as it is delicious. Thanks for sharing!

I needed to use some leftover pumpkin and this recipe was just perfect. So simple to put together and with ingredients I already had on hand. It's easy enough to make on a busy day after work and breaks the routine of boring food. I upped the amount of pepper flakes by quite a bit and we thoroughly enjoyed this Bisque.
