  1. If using pumpkins for serving bowls, heat oven to      
  350'F. Rinse pumpkins; pat dry. Cut a wide circle         
  around the stem of each pumpkin making a lid. Remove      
  lid and with spoon, scrape out seeds and stringy          
  portion from pumpkins. Place pumpkins and their lids      
  in large shallow roasting or baking pan. Cover pan        
  with aluminum foil.                                       
                                                            
  2. Bake pumpkins 30 to 50 minutes or just until flesh     
  is fork-tender. Test lids for doneness after 30           
  minutes; if tender, remove and set aside. (Do not         
  overbake or the pumpkins will collapse.) To microwave,    
  place 3 or 4 pumpkins with their lids inserted on top     
  in microwave ovens. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, rotating       
  them every 5 minutes, or until tender. Repeat until       
  all of the pumpkins have been microwaved.                 
                                                            
  3. In 4-quart saucepan, heat broth and cauliflower to     
  boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and     
  simmer fresh cauliflower until tender-about 10            
  minutes. If using frozen cauliflower, cook about 5        
  minutes. With slotted spoon, remove cauliflower to        
  blender or food processor, leaving broth in saucepan.     
                                                            
  4. Add onion to broth remaining in saucepan; cover and    
  heat to boiling. Cook until tender-about 5 minutes.       
  Meanwhile, in cup, combine 1/2 C milk, the flour,         
  salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir flour mixture into    
  onion and broth. Cook mixture, or sauce, stirring         
  constantly, until it thickens and boils. Remove from      
  heat.                                                     
                                                            
  5. In blender, puree cauliflower with 1/2 C sauce and     
  the half-and-half Pour cauliflower soup into small        
  saucepan and keep warm over very low heat.                
                                                            
  6. In same blender (no need to wash), blend remaining     
  sauce until smooth; return to saucepan; set aside. Add    
  half the mashed pumpkin and 3/4 C milk to blender;        
  blend until smooth; pour into saucepan with sauce.        
  Repeat to puree remaining mashed pumpkin with             
  remaining milk. Heat pumpkin mixture, or bisque, over     
  low heat just until hot, stirring constantly. (Do not     
  allow to boil.)
