Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bisque is the result of our Product Developer’s six-month-long search for the sublime in the soup section. Working hand in hand with our supplier, we tasted and re-tasted a number of iterations, and when we hit on this one, we unanimously chimed in with “Yes!” Unlike our previous Pumpkin Soup, this Bisque is thick and rich and creamy and exceptionally flavorful. It’s made with pumpkin purée, heavy cream, some honey for sweetness, and spices including cinnamon and nutmeg. The not-so-secret ingredient (it’s on the label after all) that pulls all the flavors together is tahini. The savory nuttiness of sesame gives the soup a depth that none of us were expecting, and that left every last one of us wanting more. We’re bringing Pumpkin Bisque into our stores for a limited time, during Pumpkin Season. When it’s gone, there definitely won’t be any more until next year, so if soup is your thing, and Pumpkin is your season, you really should grab a jar (or two or three).
