Autumn Bouillabaisse
"This rich bouillabaisse proves that pumpkins aren't just for pies. Sugar Pie and Baby Bear pumpkins are cooking varieties with infinitely more flavor and better texture than carving pumpkins, which are not recommended. Ask a produce team member about the best cooking variety available in your Whole Foods Market. Butternut squash can be substituted for pumpkin if you wish...."
