Casserole

Bisque of Curried
Pumpkin, Crawfish and Corn
Recipe By: Houmas House
When Irish sugar baron John Burnside purchased Houmas House in
1857, we doubt his guests were served anything as exotic as
Bisque of Curried Pumpkin, Crawfish and Corn, but that's the
price you pay for being born in the wrong century. This is the
perfect dish for the cooler months in Louisiana, but, frankly,
we enjoy it all year long. It's surprisingly simple and
absolutely delicious.
