"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 Tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cayenne (or more) (I only put in ½ teaspoon)
16 oz can pumpkin puree (not sweetened pumpkin pie filling)
4 cups chicken stock
½ teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup dry sherry (I used dry vermouth) Don’t ask why I had that in the house. :)
1 cup half-and-half
Directions:
Directions:
In a soup-pot over medium-high heat, saute onion and garlic in the butter until soft. Add remaining ingredients (except half-and-half) and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. For a smoother bisque, puree soup in a blender or food processor. Do in batches, only filling the container half full each time. At this point you can continue, or you can make and refrigerate for up to two days, or freeze for about a month. When you are ready to serve, return to a simmer. Add half-and-half and heat until warmed through.

Absolutely delicious. It is spicy and just perfect for a fall dinner party. This recipe was first served by Carolyn McAvoy, Millie's daughter-in-law in St. Louis.
