Autumn Pear and Pumpkin Soup

Recipe #292109 | 25 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Oolala

The Middle School cooking teacher gave me a recipe for a soup that smelled so good I HAD to ask for it-it was a mushroom-tomato bisque that I just posted but on the same sheet was this soup recipe that sounds like it would be good so I thought I would post it as well. It is from a 1996 magazine.
